I wouldn't be surprised if the Liberals would like an election right now. If the opposition brings down the government they can play the blame game and this issue goes completely away. All committees cease and Johnston won't report until after the election. Trudeau is free to spin whatever lies he wants, he'll claim that they were trying to get to the truth but the Cons and NDP just want a power grab, people will eat it up as usual. The actual election will be about American style health care and abortion just like it always is.
Plus there is the issue with the seat distribution that is happening next year. If there is an election soon then those new seats won't exist yet which is an advantage to the Liberals considering where they are. BC +1, AB +3, QC -1, ON +1.
