And now Trudeau's ex-top adviser wants to testify on the SNC-Lavalin affair
Wilson-Raybould told the committee that Trudeau and several senior members of his office, including Butts, waged a campaign of"inappropriate" and sustained pressure on her over four months to help SNC-Lavalin avoid a criminal trial. Wilson-Raybould says she even faced"veiled threats" after she made it clear she would not budge on the matter.
The two wanted Prince to hire an external legal expert to provide an opinion on whether SNC-Lavalin should be given a remediation agreement, which would have helped it avoid a criminal trial that could spark job losses. The testimony has sparked outrage among the opposition. The Conservatives have called on Trudeau to resign and have asked the RCMP to open a probe into the allegations of political interference. The NDP are repeating original calls for a formal public inquiry into the matter.
