[FONT=&quot]First of all, if the little potato does not give her further leave to speak openly and honestly, there is nothing more she has to add. Secondly, calling her back would simply result in more she said/he said as the committee will most surely recall Geppetto and that quivery clerk of the Privy Council along with any other witnesses they see fit to rebut her testimony - and on and on we go. So no. I don't want to see her recalled to the committee.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]She is at the center of this entire sordid affair. The longer she keeps the government on tenterhooks and the Canadian public in the dark, the less she looks like the strong powerful woman she claims to be. Instead, she looks just like any other self-serving politician playing the game for their own narcissistic ends.

Classic Trudeau, his daddy Castro would be proud.

Eh, but the guy has nice hair.

SNC-Lavalin approached Quebec's justice minister about DPA as part of wider effort to lobby government

Liberal MP who led committee shutdown denies coverup, says it's time for 'shift' in SNC-Lavalin debate

The Liberal MP who triggered the sudden adjournment of an emergency meeting of the Commons justice committee Wednesday insists there's been no attempt by the government to cover up the SNC-Lavalin affair, and says it's time to turn the page on the controversy.
Francis Drouin suggested the opposition Conservative and NDP members were playing politics by calling the meeting during March break, since a session to determine next steps had already been scheduled for Mar. 19.
The opposition members forced Wednesday's meeting to debate a motion to invite former justice minister and attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould back before the committee to testify for a second time about what she claims was a concerted effort by high-level government officials, including people in the Prime Minister's Office, to interfere with her decision to allow bribery charges against SNC-Lavalin to proceed to trial.
Drouin — who is not a member of the committee and was filling in for another MP who was unavailable — said he believes it's unnecessary to bring Wilson-Raybould back. He said she can provide the committee with a written statement and noted she's testified before the committee for nearly four hours already.
"I think I've heard enough," he said in an interview with CBC Radio's Ottawa Morning. "Ms. Wilson-Raybould has said, in response to Elizabeth May and Nathan Cullen, that nothing illegal was committed, nothing criminal was committed. So now the conversation has to shift between whether or not the attorney general and the minister of justice, those roles should be split."
Drouin tabled the motion to adjourn Thursday's meeting less than 30 minutes in, even though the meeting was scheduled to last two hours. That prompted opposition members to shout angry accusations about a "cover-up" and call the actions of Liberal committee members "disgusting" and "despicable."
The committee meets next on Tuesday to decide whether Wilson-Raybould and others should be called to testify. That meeting likely will be held behind closed doors, as is the practice for most meetings where potential witnesses are being discussed. Had Wednesday's meeting not been adjourned, MPs would have discussed a motion to bring Wilson-Raybould back to testify — which would have required Liberal MPs to publicly state their positions.
Conservatives call it the 'Justin committee'
Most of the justice committee members are Liberal MPs, which gives them a lot of control over how the proceedings unfold. Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre claimed yesterday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is directing the Liberal members and said it should be called the "Justin committee" rather than the "justice committee."
"Pierre Poilievre is a great political actor. But I don't think Mr. Trudeau is calling the shots," Drouin told Ottawa Morning host Robyn Bresnahan.
Drouin also said he does not believe the matter merits a public independent inquiry.
The NDP has been calling for such an inquiry, while the Conservatives have been calling for Trudeau's resignation and an RCMP investigation.
Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion, who has taken a prolonged leave of absence for health reasons, is also examining the SNC-Lavalin affair to determine if ethics rules were broken.

Canada risks deep prestige damage from OECD review of SNC-Lavalin affair, say experts

Wilson-Raybould wants to run as a Liberal

A mistake in my opinion credibility takes a hit I would run independent if I were her than switch back in after changes are made.

OTTAWA - Jody Wilson-Raybould is telling her Vancouver constituents she intends to run for re-election this fall as a Liberal.
The former justice minister and attorney general quit Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet last month and has testified that he and his staff inappropriately pressured her to help engineering firm SNC-Lavalin avoid a criminal trial on corruption charges.
In an open letter posted to her website today, she says important questions haven't been answered about the affair and Canadian politics still has a "culture of conflict, empty partisanship and cynical games."
The letter also says she has support from people across the country who want to change that, which is why she is staying in politics and in the Liberal party.
Trudeau has said he needs more time to think about whether he will move to expel Wilson-Raybould from caucus, or bar her from running for the party.
Wilson-Raybould was first elected in Vancouver-Granville in 2015 and has already been nominated to carry the Liberal banner in October's election.

Good catch . How does one spell hypocrite ? Justin Trudeau .

Quebec doesn't rule out buying SNC shares

BROMONT, Que. - Quebec Premier Francois Legault says his government isn't ruling out buying shares in SNC-Lavalin in order to prevent the company from being sold or dismantled.
Legault said Friday that all options are currently on the table when it comes to saving the troubled Montreal-based engineering giant and the thousands of jobs it provides.
The province's pension fund manager already has a stake of about 20 per cent in the company, but not enough to form a blocking minority.
SNC-Lavalin is currently facing fraud charges stemming from alleged dealings with the Libyan regime under Moammar Gadhafi between 2001 and 2011. A conviction would mean a 10-year ban from bidding on federal contracts, which could cripple the company.
Former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould quit Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet last month, testifying later that he and his staff inappropriately pressured her to negotiate a remediation agreement that would allow the company to avoid criminal charges by admitting responsibility and paying a fine.
Legault told reporters in Bromont, Que., that he has spoken with Trudeau on the need to find a way to save SNC-Lavalin and the jobs it creates.
Meanwhile, Quebec's justice minister said Friday that she'd refused a request to meet the engineering firm last fall to discuss a remediation agreement because she hadn't believed it would be pertinent.
Sonia LeBel did not rule out meeting with the company or the federal government to discuss the matter in the future, but she doesn't see the need right now. "I don't know. It will depend. I never rule anything out," she told reporters in Trois-Rivieres, Que.

MARIN: PM Justin Trudeau in free-fall as election approaches

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau participates in an armchair discussion at a meeting in Ottawa of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association on March 9, 2019. (THE CANADIAN PRESS)
It took Kathleen Wynne’s Ontario Liberals a decade to dig itself into such a deep hole that it lost party status.
At least two things contributed to reducing the Ontario Liberals to rubble apart from the miscellaneous scandals.
One, Wynne’s own gargantuan ego that she could beat the odds, whatever they might be. Wynne was in it for herself. The Liberal party not so much.
Second, she lost touch with people. It made it easy for Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives to run on a simple three-word slogan: “For the People.” It wasn’t sophisticated but it worked.

The same disease is now afflicting the governing federal Liberals. But, instead of incrementally losing touch with reality, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in a free-fall seven months before the election and after only three years in power. Trudeau thinks acting the role of Prime Minister instead of actually doing the job is good enough.
Story continues below
Just about everyone who’s familiar with Lavscam sees a government out of touch with reality. The only exceptions are a clutch of politicos in the Prime Minister’s Office and the Privy Council Office. And the PCO head Michael Wernick’s disgraceful appearances at the Justice Committee show that he’s unfit for the job, shooting Trudeau’s partisan bullets at Jody Wilson-Raybould.
Outside government, wacky Sheila Copps of Rat Pack fame and loopy Toronto Star columnist Heather Mallick think everything’s fine. Nothing to see here.
Trudeau claimed when elected that “Canada is back.” Now it seems a more apt claim would be that “Canada’s going backwards.”
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development is reviewing Canada’s compliance with the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. That’s the kind of review you’d expect of developing countries rife with corruption.
Interestingly, Trudeau and his bunch of gofers justified harassing Wilson-Raybould into a deferred prosecution agreement by claiming they could save 9,000 jobs. But a country being under an OECD bribery investigation sends bad vibes to international businesses who might want to invest in Canada. Brilliant.
How serious is Trudeau taking this?
He gave a press conference where his spinners were suggesting ahead of time, he would be contrite, maybe even apologetic. Not a chance. It was our former substitute drama teacher at his best. Appearing calm, speaking slowly, Trudeau blamed Wilson-Raybould for not coming to him with her protests. She, of course, has presented very compelling evidence to the contrary.
On Wednesday, the Justice Committee was to hold an emergency meeting to discuss bringing back Wilson-Raybould for a second appearance. Instead, the Liberals used their majority to adjourn the committee’s work to budget day, hoping no doubt that the budget’s news would drown out Lavscam.
As for Trudeau he was vacationing in North Captiva Island, an off mainland remote tourist destination only accessible by charter boat. (Hopefully the Agha Khan didn’t pick up the tab for the transfer this time.) Less than two days after arriving, he was jetting it back to Ottawa on his Challenger jet “for private meetings.” Then appeared on his twitter feed in a photo-op with Finance Minister Bill Morneau before heading back out of dodge to sun-drenched Florida.
Figures. Photo ops are apparently priceless for Trudeau. It likely cost tens of thousands of our dollars for that one. Oh, and he used his time in Ottawa to call the Kenyan president about the Ethiopian Airlines crash. I guess phones don’t work in Florida.
First, if Trudeau has any chance of surviving Lavscam and winning the election, he has to check his ego at the door. Second, he has to fess up and admit he and his cronies messed up and won’t interfere with criminal prosecutions again.
Otherwise Conservative Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer might be tempted to steal the “For the People” slogan for the October election.
