Trudeau was asked a question and answered the obvious, that the SNC-Lavelin case was one of many factors and files that needed to be dealt with by the Justice Minister whomever s/he was. The Meng extradition request is another. Trudeau has expressed full confidence in JWR, as she has done a superb job as Justice Minister, checking off almost all items in her mandate letter. But there is nothing precluding the PM from bringing in another MP who he believes can do even better in future assignments. It’s what CEOs do

@Richard Sharp "Trudeau was asked a question and answered the obvious"
Yea Right
Trust that Mr Scheer and everyone else who sits in opposition know that Jody Wilson-Raybould may have lost her mandate as Justice Minister because of her failings in Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal within my lawsuit against the Crown that was filed when Harper was the Prime Minister and Mr Scheer was the Speaker. Need I say that it irritated me bigtime when Jody appointed her Deputy Minister to the bench of Federal Court not long after I argued their minions in the Federal Court of Appeal?
Methinks anyone can check my work by simply Googling two names "Jody Wilson-Raybould David Raymond Amos" N'esy Pas?

I believe JWR was offered Philpott’s previous, prestigious portfolio in Indigenous affairs and refused it. She accepted Veterans Affairs and a defence department role too. When anonymous sources reported she was feeling pressured and she clammed up, the feds responded that no improper pressure had been applied. In fact, Trudeau confirmed with her their disccussion last September that the decision on SNC-Lavelin was hers to make. Obviously, that only applied while she was still AG and Trudeau of course had the perfect right to replace her.

Trudeau sure is putting a lot
of words in Jody Wilson-Raybould's mouth. He may come to regret talking
so much when she finally does speak. However, I am not convinced
Trudeau is smart enough to stop doing what he has been doing the past
week. I hope Canadians bury him in the deep hole he has put himself in,
in October.
Bert van
@Rob Frost So far he hasn’t put any words in her mouth, that’s just pure con zzzz

@Bert van you did read the
article right? The very first sentence is him spouting about what she
said to him...since she cannot speak on her own I would say that is the
definition of "putting words in her mouth"

"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould asked him if he was going to offer direction on the SNC-Lavalin prosecution case."

Did SNC-Lavalin play a role in the last cabinet shuffle? 'Wide range of factors' did, Trudeau says
PM was asked if the SNC-Lavalin affair played a role in shuffling Wilson-Raybould out of justice
Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau opened the door to more questions this morning about
his conversations with former justice
minister Jody Wilson-Raybould regarding the SNC-Lavalin fraud case and
his reasons for shuffling her out of that role.
Wilson-Raybould resigned as Veterans Affairs minister earlier this week — just days after a Globe and Mail report alleged that when she was at the Department of Justice, she was pressured to tell the director of public prosecutions to draft a "deferred prosecution agreement" to avoid taking SNC-Lavalin to trial on bribery and fraud charges in relation to contracts in Libya.
Wilson-Raybould was moved from the Department of Justice to Veterans Affairs in January's cabinet shuffle.
Trudeau defended that shakeup, arguing it was triggered by former Treasury Board president Scott Brison's decision to not run again and to step down from cabinet.
"If Scott Brison had not stepped down from cabinet, Jody Wilson-Raybould would still be minister of justice and attorney general," Trudeau told reporters during a BlackBerry funding announcement in the Ottawa suburb of Kanata.
When pressed to say whether the SNC-Lavalin affair played a role in reassigning Wilson-Raybould, Trudeau said there were a "wide range of factors" to consider.
"Any time one makes a decision to shift members of cabinet, there always a wide range of factors that go into making that decision," he said.
NDP MP Nathan Cullen said the lack of a firm "no" in response to that question was troubling.
"Let me be clear. If he is given a specific question — was she fired because she didn't do what you wanted her to do and obstruct justice? — and his answer is anything other than 'no', definitively, we have a problem," he said.
"We have a huge problem. Because that is obstruction of justice. That is going to the very heart of what corruption looks like.
"I am stunned by the prime minister's answer to this because it was as close to a confirmation that you're probably going to get from this guy as to what really happened here."
Since the first SNC-Lavalin story broke in the Globe and Mail late last week, Trudeau has denied that his aides pressured Wilson-Raybould to intercede on the company's behalf.
On Friday he said that Wilson-Raybould did ask him if he was going to offer her direction following the "many discussions" his government was having about the Quebec engineering firm's fraud and bribery case — including discussions with Quebec premiers, MPs and the company's representatives.
"There were many discussions going on, which is why Jody Wilson-Raybould asked me if I was directing her or going to direct her to take a particular decision," Trudeau said. "And I of course said no, that it was her decision to make and I expected her to make it.
"Obviously, as a government, we take very seriously our responsibility of standing up for jobs, of protecting jobs, of growing the economy, of making sure that there are good jobs right across the country, as there are with SNC-Lavalin. But as we do that we always need to make sure we're standing up for the rule of law and protecting the independence of our justice system."
Cullen said Friday's press conference was a litany of excuses.
"It looked desperate. I mean, blaming this whole thing on the departure of one of his cabinet ministers is insulting the intelligence of Canadians. I don't understand how the Liberals think this is going to work," he said.
"I truly believe this thing is unraveling in front of our eyes. I don't know why the prime minister thinks he is winning the day and sounding at all believable."
When asked if Wilson-Raybould might have interpreted his comments as pressure, Trudeau insisted again that it was her responsibility to raise those concerns.
"If the minister or anyone else felt undue pressure or felt that we were not living up to our own high standards of defence of the rule of law and our judicial system and judicial independence, it was their responsibility to come forward."
He also wouldn't answer questions about what Wilson-Raybould told him when she tendered her resignation, saying only that he accepted her decision even if he didn't understand it.
When asked for her side of the story, Wilson-Raybould has cited solicitor-client privilege.
In
her resignation letter, she said she has retained the services of
lawyer Thomas Cromwell, a former justice of the Supreme Court of Canada,
to advise her on "topics that I am legally permitted to discuss on this
matter.
SNC-Lavalin faces charges of fraud and corruption in connection with nearly $48 million in payments made to Libyan government officials between 2001 and 2011.
The company has pleaded not guilty.
If convicted, the company could be blocked from competing for federal government contracts for a decade.
The case is still at the preliminary hearing stage.
Wilson-Raybould resigned as Veterans Affairs minister earlier this week — just days after a Globe and Mail report alleged that when she was at the Department of Justice, she was pressured to tell the director of public prosecutions to draft a "deferred prosecution agreement" to avoid taking SNC-Lavalin to trial on bribery and fraud charges in relation to contracts in Libya.

"I am stunned by the prime minister's answer to this because it was as close to a confirmation that you're probably going to get from this guy as to what really happened here."
PM says Wilson-Raybould asked if he would be directing her
Since the first SNC-Lavalin story broke in the Globe and Mail late last week, Trudeau has denied that his aides pressured Wilson-Raybould to intercede on the company's behalf.
On Friday he said that Wilson-Raybould did ask him if he was going to offer her direction following the "many discussions" his government was having about the Quebec engineering firm's fraud and bribery case — including discussions with Quebec premiers, MPs and the company's representatives.
"There were many discussions going on, which is why Jody Wilson-Raybould asked me if I was directing her or going to direct her to take a particular decision," Trudeau said. "And I of course said no, that it was her decision to make and I expected her to make it.
"Obviously, as a government, we take very seriously our responsibility of standing up for jobs, of protecting jobs, of growing the economy, of making sure that there are good jobs right across the country, as there are with SNC-Lavalin. But as we do that we always need to make sure we're standing up for the rule of law and protecting the independence of our justice system."
"It looked desperate. I mean, blaming this whole thing on the departure of one of his cabinet ministers is insulting the intelligence of Canadians. I don't understand how the Liberals think this is going to work," he said.
"I truly believe this thing is unraveling in front of our eyes. I don't know why the prime minister thinks he is winning the day and sounding at all believable."
When asked if Wilson-Raybould might have interpreted his comments as pressure, Trudeau insisted again that it was her responsibility to raise those concerns.
"If the minister or anyone else felt undue pressure or felt that we were not living up to our own high standards of defence of the rule of law and our judicial system and judicial independence, it was their responsibility to come forward."
He also wouldn't answer questions about what Wilson-Raybould told him when she tendered her resignation, saying only that he accepted her decision even if he didn't understand it.
When asked for her side of the story, Wilson-Raybould has cited solicitor-client privilege.
SNC-Lavalin faces charges of fraud and corruption in connection with nearly $48 million in payments made to Libyan government officials between 2001 and 2011.
The company has pleaded not guilty.
If convicted, the company could be blocked from competing for federal government contracts for a decade.
The case is still at the preliminary hearing stage.

Jody Wilson-Raybould resigns from cabinet after SNC-Lavalin allegations
Catharine Tunney · CBC News · Posted: Feb 12, 2019 11:39 AM ET
"Wilson-Raybould, who plans to stay on as MP for Vancouver-Granville,
has been quiet since the Globe and Mail story broke, saying she can't
comment because she's bound by solicitor-client privilege.
In her resignation letter, she said she has retained the services of
lawyer Thomas Cromwell, a former justice of the Supreme Court of
Canada, to advise her on "topics that I am legally permitted to
discuss on this matter."
In an email to CBC News, Cromwell said he would not be making any
statements or doing any interviews."

The 9 faces at the centre of the Jody Wilson-Raybould, PMO affair
This week, the House of Commons justice
and human rights committee held an emergency meeting to probe
allegations that the Prime Minister's Office applied pressure to the
minister of justice to help the Quebec-based engineering
firm SNC-Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution in a bribery case.
During that meeting, Liberal, Conservative and NDP MPs sparred over which witnesses would appear before the committee. Nine key names came up in that debate; some are high-profile political figures, while others are more obscure to anyone outside the Ottawa bubble.
Here's a who's-who list for the upcoming committee hearings.
Wilson-Raybould, the former justice minister sent to Veterans Affairs in the recent cabinet shuffle, resigned from cabinet days after the Globe and Mail quoted anonymous sources saying members of the Prime Minister's Office tried to get her to help Quebec construction giant SNC-Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution on bribery and fraud charges through a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA), sometimes referred to as a remediation agreement.
SNC-Lavalin is before a court in Montreal, charged with fraud and corruption in connection with payments of nearly $48 million to public officials in Libya under Moammar Gadhafi's government and allegations it defrauded Libyan organizations of an estimated $130 million.
During the political firestorm that followed the report, Wilson-Raybould refused to comment on the case, saying she was still bound by solicitor-client privilege. She has since retained former Supreme Court justice Thomas Cromwell as counsel to advise her on what she is allowed to say publicly.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has publicly stated that the allegations in the Globe and Mail report are false.

Gerry
Butts, Trudeau's most senior adviser, did — according to the lobby
registry — meet with officials from SNC-Lavalin early in 2017. Both the
NDP and the Conservatives want Butts to appear at committee. The Liberal
majority on the committee, however, voted down a motion that would have
made this possible.
Cameron Ahmad, a spokesman for Trudeau, told the Globe and Mail that Butts had spoken to Wilson-Raybould about the SNC-Lavalin case. Ahmad went on to say that Butts told Wilson-Raybould to take the issue up with Canada's top civil servant, Privy Council Clerk Michael Wernick.
Deputy Minister of Justice and Deputy Attorney General, Nathalie Drouin. (facebook.com/JusticeCanada)
Drouin
was appointed in June 23, 2017, and worked under Wilson-Raybould. She
was one of three names put on the witness list by the Liberal members of
the committee. The New Democrats also want Drouin to appear but the
Conservatives have left her off their witness list. Drouin has not been
lobbied by SCN-Lavalin on issues related to justice since the time the
Liberals came to office.
New Justice Minister and Attorney General of Canada David Lametti. (Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)
He's
Wilson-Raybould's immediate successor as both justice minister and
attorney general of Canada. In the Trudeau government, he served first
as parliamentary secretary to the minister of international trade. He
was moved to the position of parliamentary secretary to the minister of
innovation, science and economic development in January of 2017, a
position he held until his promotion to minister in the Jan. 14, 2019
cabinet shuffle.
Lametti has stated many times that neither he nor his office were directed to take any specific actions by the Prime Minister's Office. All three parties want Lametti to appear as a witness before the Justice committee.
Michael Wernick, Clerk of the Privy Council. (Julie Ireton/CBC)
Wernick
is Canada's most senior public servant and an adviser to the prime
minister. All three parties on the justice committee want him to appear
as a witness. According to sources that spoke to the Globe and Mail,
Wernick reprimanded Wilson-Raybould for a series of critical remarks she
made in speeches about the Liberal government's reconciliation efforts
last fall.
In a Nov. 29 speech in to the provincial cabinet and Indigenous leaders, Wilson-Raybould said:
"Thinking that good intentions, tinkering around the edges of the Indian Act, or that making increased financial investments — however significant and unprecedented — will in themselves close the gaps, is naive. Transformative change and new directions are required."

As
the former justice minister's chief of staff and policy adviser, Prince
would have worked closely with Wilson-Raybould. Prince was put on a
list of desired witnesses by the Conservative Party, but not by the
Liberals or NDP. She may be able to shed light on what, if anything,
Wilson-Raybould was told by the PMO.
Public Prosecutions Director Kathleen Roussel. (ppsc-sppc.gc.ca)
Roussel
was appointed to her position in June of 2017. As the director of
public prosecutions she is responsible for the management of the Public
Prosecution Service of Canada. The Conservative members of the justice
committee have requested that she appear and give testimony; the NDP and
Liberals have, so far, not requested her presence.
Roussel is the official who informed SNC-Lavalin that the company was not going to be invited to negotiate a remediation agreement. Less than two weeks later, the company filed for a judicial review of that decision.
According to sources that spoke to the Globe and Mail, Roussel's decision provoked a debate at senior levels of government over how to proceed.
According
to the federal government's lobby registry, Bouchard met with officials
from SCN-Lavalin more than a dozen times between early 2016 and late
2018.
Both the NDP and the Conservatives want to speak to Bouchard. The PMO has not said whether Bouchard spoke to Wilson-Raybould about the SNC-Lavalin case..
Marques
was moved from his position as chief of staff to Innovation Minister
Navdeep Bains in the fall of 2017 to take up his role in the PMO as a
senior adviser. Marques was lobbied by SNC-Lavalin at least a half dozen
times in his position as chief of staff to Bains and in his PMO role.
The Conservatives have asked for Marques to appear before the Justice committee. So far, the PMO has not said whether Marques has spoken to Wilson-Raybould about the SNC-Lavalin prosecution.
