From the Most "Transparent" Government in the Country's History

I'm sure Justin wouldn't mind lifting that ban to reassure the Canadian public of how "independent" and "transparent" his failed rail-roading Vice-Admiral Mark Norman was:

The settlement between Vice-Admiral Mark Norman and the Defence Department was undertaken independently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday.

Speaking at a closing press conference at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, Trudeau said the government appreciates the process is "now concluded" but he didn't say why the settlement was reached.

"That is a conversation between the vice-admiral and the ministry of national defence," Trudeau told reporters.

Earlier this week, the department issued a surprise statement saying it had reached a "mutually acceptable agreement" with Norman and he would be retiring from the military after consulting with his family, chain of command and his legal counsel.

The details of the settlement would remain confidential, the statement added.
