Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending embattled Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan after the latter was censured by the House of Commons. Trudeau says Sajjan has spent his life serving Canada in different roles, including as a police officer and military officer before becoming minister. And he says the Conservatives are trying to slander the minister’s reputation over what they say is his failure to lead the military, including dealing with sexual misconduct in the ranks.
