Records show that Justin Trudeau has made a total of 104 appointments, including naming 9 new senators, since he announced his intent to resign as prime minister on January 6.
(LifeSiteNews) — In his last three months as leader of Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made over 100 federal appointments, including over a dozen to the judiciary and give to the Senate in just the last week alone.
Late last week, Trudeau filled the five remaining vacant Senate seats, meaning all 105 seats are now taken.
Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer blasted Trudeau for his recent Senate appointments, saying the prime minister “lied to Canadians and said he would make the Senate independent and non-partisan but the reality is that nearly every person he has appointed is in fact a Liberal Senator.”
Since January 6, Trudeau has also appointed diplomats, two so-called “special advisors,” as well as dozens of directors who serve on federal boards, councils and in federally run agencies such as the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
