00:00:00.000 Good evening Prime Minister, Andrew Lawton from True North, in English and in French please.
00:00:04.000 When you were accused of, in her words, groping a young woman at the Kokanee Music Festival,
00:00:10.000 you said that people can experience things differently.
00:00:13.000 When you look back at your career at West Point Grey Academy,
00:00:16.000 were there any episodes, any chapters, any incidents where, looking back,
00:00:21.000 you may have, in your view or in the view of anyone else involved, acted inappropriately?
00:00:25.000 No. No.
00:00:27.000 Okay, thank you. And a follow-up to that, sir, I mean, these are questions we're asking publicly
00:00:31.000 because your office has not answered them privately.
00:00:35.000 Do you think they are relevant, given that you have been accused of bullying women you've worked with,
00:00:39.000 firing women that have stood up to you, and accused of groping women?
00:00:43.000 Do you realize that these are important questions?
00:00:45.000 We live in a democracy where people are allowed to ask questions,
00:00:49.000 and where Canadians will make their decisions.
00:00:52.000 I am extremely confident in the values that I've always put forward,
00:00:56.000 and the work that I've done for Canadians,
00:00:58.000 and I know that Canadians will base their decision in ten days on facts,
00:01:03.000 and not on internet rumours.
