Green Party leader provides insight into SNC-Lavalin affair during Kamloops visit Mar 4, 2019 4:35 PM

KAMLOOPS — The leader of the Federal Green Party is looking forward to Wednesday’s parliamentary justice committee meeting in Ottawa.

Elizabeth May expects she’ll be able to direct questions to the clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick, and the Prime Minister’s former principal secretary, Gerald Butts. She’s hoping to learn how deeply the Prime Minister was involved in pressuring former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould.

“How much of what they did was under the Prime Minister’s instruction and how much was them deciding they out to get this fixed for the Prime Minister,” said May.

She says the latest cabinet resignation by Jane Philpott has strengthened her belief in Wilson-Raybould’s story.
