Butts has been friends with Trudeau since university, at his side politically since the start of his Liberal leadership run and a critical part of the party's 2015 election campaign. He resigned Feb. 18, saying he had done nothing wrong but felt the need to leave because he had become a distraction.
"There are a diversity of perspectives on this," she said. "I believe the prime minister when he says he did not put undue pressure, his staff did not put undue pressure on Jody Wilson-Raybould and I think we're going to hear some more testimony this week." Wernick also spoke up for the Liberal government's Indigenous agenda and integrity, which Angus says was inappropriate for a non-partisan public official.
