The Prime Minister finally addressed the ongoing crisis in his government, repeatedly pressing the issue of potential job losses. Read his full statement.
Weeks after his government was thrown into turmoil with accusations of political interference in the ongoing criminal case against SNC-Lavalin, and the subsequent resignation of two key cabinet ministers, Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott, the Prime Minister finally addressed the crisis at length.
In the months that followed that meeting, I asked my staff to follow up regarding Ms. Wilson-Raybould’s final decision. I realize now that in addition, I should have done so personally, given the importance of this issue and the jobs that were on the line.

There’s one theory that the most effective leaders are adversarial and almost tough to a fault. That’s not what I believe.
So, as I look at the different departments and responsibilities and things that a government must do, the justice file has always been one of particular importance and interest to me.
