Trudeau ejects Wilson-Raybould, Philpott from Liberal caucus
OTTAWA — Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott have been ejected from the Liberal Party caucus, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Tuesday evening, saying “The trust that previously existed between these two individuals and our team has been broken.”
— Jody Wilson-Raybould April 2, 2019Wilson-Raybould’s ejection comes on the same day she wrote a scathing letter to her Liberal caucus colleagues that said their choice on whether to remove her would reveal the values of the party. “I am not the one who tried to interfere in sensitive proceedings, I am not the one who made it public, and I am not the one who publicly denied what happened,” her letter to caucus says.
“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, the vision that animates it, and indeed the type of people it will attract and make it up,” her letter says. At first, Wilson-Raybould — who was on vacation in Bali at the time — protested the move over what it signalled for Indigenous Canadians.
