Shane Marshall is accused of throwing gravel at the PM during a London, Ont. election campaign stop in 2021
Leach made it clear, while listening to arguments from lawyer Luke Reidy – from defence lawyer Phillip Millar’s office – on behalf of Marshall, that once parliamentary privilege is invoked he had no other option than to quash the subpoena.
He pointed out the Crown didn’t see the need to call Trudeau and said the court record doesn’t show Trudeau’s evidence would be relevant to Marshall’s defence. Schumann pointed to statements made to the media by Millar that he wanted to challenge statements made by Trudeau about the incident, saying Trudeau was “provoking the protestors” and followed up with a statement about how he would “love to cross-examine the prime minister.”
“It certainly gives rise to a concern that this subpoena is being sought for a political purpose,” Schumann said. Reidy argued Trudeau gave inconsistent statements and showed two videos of Trudeau’s response. One video was filmed on the bus moments after the gravel was thrown, where Trudeau said he may have been struck with the stones in the shoulder and it wasn’t a big deal.
