ICYMI - Jody Wilson-Raybould 'overwhelmed, grateful' — and seeking re-election
Jody Wilson-Raybould says she is “overwhelmed and grateful” about an outpouring of public support since her scorching testimony in the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
“I have heard from thousands of people — neighbours, friends, constituents, as well as people from all across Canada.” She said she faced a “sustained effort” and “veiled threats” to intervene in the case. Trudeau removed her as attorney general in January and she resigned from his cabinet outright on Feb. 12.

Trudeau said last week he had not decided whether Wilson-Raybould will be allowed to remain in the government caucus or to run again for the Liberals. “I am doing fine,” she said. “The past few weeks have been eventful ones for our country, our system of government, and for myself and family.”
