But was it wrong for Wilson-Raybould to record her conversation with Wernick?

Let’s start with the low hanging fruit. The recording was not illegal. There is no law that prohibits taping a conversation that you are a part of.

There are special rules for lawyers. The Law Society of Ontario rules prohibit the recording of a conversation between a lawyer and their client or another legal practitioner. But Wernick was not Wilson-Raybould’s client and he is not a lawyer. So best of luck with that, law society complainant.
