'Ultimately the choice that is before you is about what kind of party you want to be a part of, what values it will uphold,' writes the former attorney general to the Liberal caucus
The former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould delivered a letter to her Liberal party colleagues on Tuesday, making her case for remaining in caucus as it gathers to decide her fate . But Wilson-Raybould’s letter was also a challenge to Liberals over what the party stands for in the wake of the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
Wilson-Raybould concludes by saying she plans to run again as a Liberal in the next election. Here is her letter:Re: Commitment to the Values, Principles, and Priorities of the Liberal Party of Canada This commitment to a changed politics was not just about specific policies, such as proportional representation, but about every aspect of how we organize ourselves to govern, and the responsibilities that each of us carry.
In 2015, I believed the Liberal Party held such a vision, and I still believe the Liberals can and must advance such a vision. I do believe fundamentally that the Prime Minister also still shares this vision.
