Conservative MPs are being asked to cancel all travel plans to ensure they are in Ottawa this week so the party can keep up pressure on the government to make its national security adviser available to testify about Justin Trudeau's trip to India. In an email obtained by CBC News, Mark Strahl, the Conservative whip, informed members their travel authorizations were being rescinded. The email also stated the party was prepared to use "every tool in our toolbox" to hold the government accountable. While the prime minister was in India in February, Atwal was photographed at an event with Justin Trudeau's wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, and Minister of Infrastructure and Communities Amarjeet Sohi. The Privy Council Office said the government has offered a briefing on the India trip to Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, something he categorically denied while taking reporters' questions in Toronto on Friday.
