MPs` demand to let Jody Wilson-Raybould return gets cut off by Liberals at justice committee
(The Star Food)
 


OTTAWA—The Liberal majority on the House of Commons justice committee voted to cut off the emergency meeting Wednesday, where opposition MPs called for Jody Wilson-Raybould to return to testify about the SNC-Lavalin controversy. Liberal MP Francis Drouin intervened about 20 minutes into the meeting, and the majority of Liberal MPs agree with him to adjourn the meeting to discuss future witnesses on March 19, the same day the Liberal government will table its pre-election budget. Opposition MPs on the committee erupted in protests. Conservative MP Michael Cooper yelled “cover up!” and NDP MP Peter Julian told the Liberal members that their vote to delay the consideration of witnesses is “disgusting.” The committee last met March 6, when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s former principal secretary Gerald Butts denied he or anyone in the Prime Minister’s Office put Wilson-Raybould under inappropriate pressure to halt the SNC-Lavalin prosecution. He also suggested her version of events — detailed over almost four hours of testimony at the committee Feb. 27 — was coloured by how she was unhappy about being bumped from her “dream job” as justice minister and attorney general when Trudeau shuffled his cabinet in January. The committee also heard from Privy Council Clerk Michael Wernick and Nathalie Drouin, the deputy justice minister and attorney general, on March 6. Both were appearing for the second time, after they were invited to respond to Wilson-Raybould’s stunning testinomy at the committee in February.Read more: Opinion | Susan Delacourt: Why the Liberals must let Wilson-Raybould speak again on SNC-LavalinFederal Court ruling underscores independence of attorney general and prosecution decisionsCrown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett downplays supposed cabinet dispute with Jody Wilson-RaybouldAt the end of the March 6 meeting, New Democrat MP Murray Rankin proposed a motion that w ...
