Methinks truth is stranger
than fiction and anyone can easily Google "David Amos Federal Court file
No." in order to sort out the truth from fiction for themselves. Its
blatantly obvious that Mr Trudeau had a duty to talk to Harper's
Minister of justice and Peter MacKay and had them pay particular
attention to info found within statement 83 of my lawsuit long before
the election in October of 2015
Everybody knows why I am about to put the aforementioned matter before the Supreme Court and file several more lawsuits in the Federal Court against the RCMP and the CRA etc and also run for a seat in Parliament again N'esy Pas?

Trust that Gerald Butts,
Jagmeet Singh, Andrew Scheer, Maxime Bernier, Elizabeth May 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 big time 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" before she speaks her truth tomorrow N'esy Pas?

Legal things take time. SNC Lavalin investigation is ongoing. They have to make sure from legal point of view to not undermine the investigation. This doesn't seem to be Liberal or Conservative thing. This legal thing only and now that privilege can be waved we get fing out what's going on. Almost seems to me that Conservative supporters are worried the results might not be damning as the Conservatives have been pushing. For Conservative to win they need a scandal like this. If there isn't a scandal then winning the election means they have to work for it and we haven't seen Scheer even begin to work for it. He just feels entitled to win. That won't get him a majority.
I don't like the Conservative at this time but that's just what I'm seeing. I'm not sure who I'll vote for just won't be Conservative it an Election was held today. In 6 month that might change.

I don't know what we're going to hear tomorrow, but I think it's safe to say this: I doubt Gerald would have resigned and the PMO would have lit itself on fire in one of the worst examples of damage control and communications if this didn't have the potential to seriously damage Trudeau/PMO. But I think it's fair to also say that if her side of the story leaves us saying "oh! That's all this was about?" then we would have the right to be seriously irritated that we were subjected to a pointless melodrama.

No - everyone doesn't have 'their' story straight. Right here in this article is Lisa Raitt doing the reconstruction of the issues so's to cover up the Scheer party's hysterical smearing about , oh dear, JWR felt pressure is why she did the quit-splat on veterans
Raitt making up a new story about "either in what Mr. Lametti said, or in what the prime minister said, that caused her to realize she didn't have the confidence of the cabinet any longer and she had to remove herself "
Hello LIsa - your new spin about what's not been at all part of the faker smear story - won't work. Because if all this is not about 'her truth' or 'her pressure' - then it's all been just one more bitter brooding malcontent shafting the team..... who did the quit-splat using some hidden surrogate spilling fake allegations on the JWR"s behalf
So say Scheer party, all the news outlets, and upheld in the silence while moving about JWR herself. And two bottom lines (1) every Prime Minister has obligation to create his own best Cabinet - and he owes no explanation to anyone for any of that; people chosen get to say yes I will or no I won't - she said yes. (2) then she did the quit-splat and mega skillful sculking sulk Here we are - until she has her 30 minutes plus of truth telling and issue avoidance

The Libs have entered unprecedented territory in allowing this committee to proceed, and the call was made by the committee itself, not by the PM or the PMO. That’s a first in Canadian history. Harper would have shut it down on a dime.
Unprecedented event number two. Allowing the former and existing justice Minister to appear, along with the DM of justice and the Clerk of the Privacy Council. Three? Waiving solicitor client privilege and Cabinet confidentialiyy. Four (at least compared to the Cons)? Not attacking every critic. The Harper Cons would be into full frontal character assassinations by now.

Jody WIlson-Raybould has no crack at leadership role. Unless she's drawn to a hotel room meeting with Scheer a la Leona Alleslev. But that would shock even me... whose belief in JWR has been shattered by her own behaviour.
Leaders don't keep their truths in a closet; don't get unnamed surrogates to dish secretive dirt in unsupported allegations; don't mislead their team leaders, and never ever do quit-splats against the oaths they took of their own volition

Your smears of JWR are entirely out of line and untrue. So far there is zero evidence that she is only acting in her own interest. Your smears against Lisa Raitt and the Conservatives are also unfounded. They've been far from hysterical. They're doing what the rest of the opposition is doing - looking for answers. The Liberals would do the same if the roles were reversed and you know it.

More about difference between 'process' and 'content'. JWR will spent 30 minutes tomorrow on content\; who said what, when etc. in order to account for her hidden truth, her quit-splat of the veterans, her failure to speak truth to power not, as she indicates, by having to have 30 minutes tomorrow to itemize her failure to have dynamic, balanced, full, honest, and clearly expressive communications with anyone she'd taken an oath of office to be on a team with. Her content may be salacious, interesting, anecdotally fascinating - and fodder for the salacious minded 'opposition' -
but it's the nature of her process as she enacted her role as Justice Minister and Attorney General of Canada - and then as an MP accepting a new Cabinet position which is at the root cause of this whole messy disservice to the processes of our governance. She made those process choices. Each of us has to choose how we are upstanding in our lives. It's not about 'content' - its about how we act who we are moment by moment.

Arrogance? What pure crap. Trudeau is humble to a fault. No PM ever was willing to recognize and apologize for mistakes like him. And then fix the problem and move on.

Arrogance? What pure crap. Trudeau is humble to a fault. No PM ever was willing to recognize and apologize for mistakes like him. And then fix the problem and move on. He’s done it a dozen times, while Harper never once apologized or fixed a hundred mistakes he made. In fact, he attacked his critics full frontal.

More like no PM in in history was ever more desperate for virtue signalling! Trudeau essentially told his staff "comb through the history books. Anything Canada did wrong, I want to cry and apologize for, in front of the camera."

And we all know there is nothing a con detests more than virtue signalling. Imagine trying to encourage folks to do the right thing. What could be worse than that? We certainly never had to worry about that with Harper.

Of course it will not be settled. The Liberals will claim they were just providing context and the opposition will say the Government were exerting undue pressure. The only thing for sure is it shows just how badly the PMO handled what was a communications crisis. Heaven help us if a real crisis occurs.

@Charles Farley The truth is
mostly already out there and it is a mistaken to think we need to wait
for WR's testimony or the ethics inquiry is complete (it took over a
year to investigate a vacation with the Aga Khan) before acting. It
has already been admitted that the PM and PMO pressured WR and her staff
AFTER the prosecutors had made their decision that a DPA for SNC was
not appropriate under the terms of the law the Liberal wrote. The
prosecutors decisions is supposes to be final - no political
interference. There is already admitted serious wrongdoing here, maybe
even criminal. Time for Parliament to ACT, not just investigate.
Liberal MP's need to decide what kind of representatives they want to be
- they are suppose to work for their constituents not the PM. It
will be interesting to see how if the liberals on the justice committee
decide to do their jobs today or not. Canadians are watching.

@Stan Nova what's the point
of a confidence motion in a Liberal majority house? Look at the results
when Scheer motioned for an investigation, it was Liberals vs the truth,
and the Liberals won.
What is needed is recall legislation, then the people of Canada could decide rather than these slimy politicians closing ranks around their embattled leader and his rat faced puppet master

Need I say that it irritated me big time 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?

Wilson-Raybould says PMO restricting her ability to 'speak freely' at Justice committee Wednesday
Former attorney general has been granted broad waiver on cabinet confidence, solicitor-client privilege
Jody Wilson-Raybould wrote to the chair of the justice committee Tuesday evening to say that while she will agree to give testimony before MPs on Wednesday, she will not be able to speak freely because of constraints that still exist around what she can and can't talk about.
The former justice minister had obtained a broad waiver from the Prime Minister's Office that allows her to disclose details of her conversations with government officials about the prosecution of SCN Lavalin, a Montreal-based global engineering and construction company.
In an Order in Council (OIC) posted online, the government said Wilson-Raybould — "and any persons who directly participated in discussions with her relating to the exercise of her authority under the Director of Public Prosecutions Act respecting the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin" — can report to the committee and to the federal ethics commissioner any cabinet confidences "in any information or communications that were directly discussed with her respecting the exercise of that authority while she held that office."
But in the letter to Anthony Housefather, Wilson-Raybould said those parameters will not allow her to "speak freely."
"The OIC addresses only my time as attorney general of Canada and therefore does nothing to release me from any restrictions that apply to communications while I served as minister of veterans affairs and in relation to my resignation from that post or my presentation to cabinet after I had resigned," she said in the letter.
On Monday, Wilson-Raybould wrote the committee saying she is "anxious" to appear, and sought permission to deliver a 30-minute opening statement instead of the usual five to 10 minutes, a request which has been granted by the committee.
Politics News
Trudeau pleased that Wilson-Raybould will share her story
PM Justin Trudeau says
that waiving privilege is something they take seriously, but he is glad
that Jody Wilson-Raybould will be able to tell her side of things in
front of the Justice Committee. 0:21
"It's important that people get an opportunity to testify, or share their point of view, at committee," Trudeau told reporters as he headed into the weekly Liberal cabinet meeting.
"As we said, waiving privilege, waiving cabinet confidentiality is something that we had to take very seriously, but I'm pleased that Ms. Wilson-Raybould is going to be able to share her perspectives."

Lametti outlines process for waiving privilege
Justice Minister David
Lametti outlines discussions between both sides to waive solicitor
client privilege in order for his predecessor to be able to appear in
front of the Justice Committee. 0:32
"What we were doing is establishing a process that's fair and open and allows transparency but still protects the very principles that we want to protect in the legal system, as well as not interfering with ongoing litigation," he said.
Lametti confirmed there were "contacts" between lawyers, but would not say whether he was talking about discussions between government lawyers and Wilson-Raybould's counsel — retired Supreme Court justice Thomas Cromwell.
The justice committee is examining the growing controversy touched off by a Feb. 7 Globe and Mail report that said Trudeau's aides attempted to press Wilson-Raybould to intervene in the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin to help the company avoid criminal prosecution on bribery charges related to contracts in Libya.

Justice committee chair looks ahead to JWR testimony
'I anticipate tomorrow there may be some difficult rulings to make,' says Anthony Housefather. 6:56
Wilson-Raybould
resigned from cabinet on Feb. 12, and has remained silent on the
matter, insisting she's still bound by solicitor-client confidentiality
from her time as attorney general.
"I understand fully that Canadians want to know the truth and want transparency," she told the House of Commons last week. "Privilege and confidentiality are not mine to waive, and I hope that I have the opportunity to speak my truth."
Housefather said he believes all of Wilson-Raybould's previous concerns have now been addressed and she will now have the opportunity to give her account of events.
"I think she now can tell her side of the story. With 30 minutes, I think she'll have ample time to do so and I look forward to hearing from her, as I know the other committee members do," he said.
Conservative justice critic and deputy leader Lisa Raitt will press Wilson-Raybould on what happened in various meetings and whether she engaged in any discussions that were, in her opinion, inappropriate. But she said the big unanswered question is what prompted Wilson-Raybould to resign.
"What was it either in what Mr. Lametti said, or in what the prime minister said, that caused her to realize she didn't have the confidence of the cabinet any longer and she had to remove herself from cabinet solidarity?" Raitt said. "Because that's what she did and it's a big deal."
NDP MP Nathan Cullen said Wilson-Raybould's testimony will be "pivotal" and the committee probe must expand to call on testimony from officials in the PMO, including Trudeau's chief of staff Katie Telford and his former principal secretary Gerry Butts.
"It's a typical scandal. First they deny anything's here, then they admit the thing happened but the thing's not important. Then one by one the accusations become verified, and we need to hear from the principal actors," he said.
