“It really has been quite remarkable,” Wilson-Raybould said Saturday, in her first public remarks since her bombshell testimony.

“I have heard from thousands of people — neighbours, friends, constituents, as well as people from all across Canada.”

The former attorney general said she plans to run for re-election in the fall under the Liberal banner in Vancouver Granville.

“I feel overwhelmed and grateful. In my mind, all I was doing was my job.”

Wilson-Raybould stunned Ottawa last week with three hours of shocking testimony in the SNC-Lavalin affair, saying she was hounded for months to let the Liberal-connected, Quebec-based engineering company off the hook on criminal corruption charges.
