The Liberal cabinet retreat is being overshadowed by a Newfoundland MP speaking out against the carbon tax. CTV’s Kevin Gallagher reports.
MP Ken McDonald walks back his comments that Liberals need a leadership review
Avalon MP now says he's not calling for a review, says prime minister is a 'great campaigner'
Liberal MP Ken McDonald has done an about-face on comments to a Radio-Canada reporter this week when he said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should be subject to a leadership review.
In a statement sent Thursday morning, McDonald walked back his comments, insisting he wasn't calling for a leadership review.
"The intent of my recent public comments was not to personally call for a leadership review, and I am not calling for one now," said McDonald, the member of Parliament for Newfoundland's Avalon riding.
Despite his statement Thursday, McDonald was clear in his comments to Radio-Canada reporter Laurence Martin in a recent interview that he wanted to see a leadership review, and that he wasn't sure if Trudeau was the right leader for the party heading into the next election.
WATCH | Ken McDonald's full comments on a leadership review:
While
he stopped short of saying the prime minister should step down, Liberal
MP Ken McDonald — who represents the Avalon riding — tells
Radio-Canada’s Laurence Martin a change is needed and he anticipates the
Conservatives making major inroads in the Atlantic provinces. McDonald
has been on the outs with his Liberal party before, voting with the
Conservatives on a motion to abolish carbon pricing.
"The government now of today is getting to be an old government," McDonald said in the interview, published Wednesday. "People are thinking maybe it's time for a change. I tell everybody: every leader, every party has a best-before date. Our best-before date is here. So we either have to change things up in a way to make people think we're new again, or we're able to do better going forward. But that's not something I have control of."
"You seem to suggest that there needs to be some sort of a shakeup, like maybe a leadership shakeup or something?" Martin asked.
"Even a leadership review, right? Like—" said McDonald.
"You want a leadership review?" asked Martin.
"A leadership review," continued McDonald. "Normally, in most circumstances in politics and especially in the federal government, if you go from a majority government to a minority government, there's supposed to be a leadership review. That hasn't happened. And we went in a minority in 2019 … and then we went to another minority in '21."
"So you think at least there should be a leadership review in the Liberal party?" Martin asked.
"Yes," he responded. "Let's clear the air. Let's, you know, as a party let's clear the air, and if people are still intent on having the leader we have now, fine, but at least give people the opportunity to have their say in what they think of the direction the party is going."
"And if there were a review like that, would you continue supporting Justin Trudeau or would you look for somebody else?" Martin asked.
"I would want to see the slate of candidates that would come forward and hear from them individually and then I would make up my mind," McDonald said.
"So it's not clear for you right now whether Justin Trudeau is the right leader for the Liberal party?"
"No. It's not clear."

Minister Justin Trudeau has been in power since 2015 but has faced
declining popularity and questions about his leadership as a fourth
election looms. (Christinne Muschi/The Canadian Press)
Other Atlantic MPs silent
CBC/Radio-Canada asked 15 Liberal MPs throughout Atlantic Canada to respond to McDonald's comments on Wednesday. Zero responded.
While McDonald stopped short of calling for Trudeau to step down during the interview, he was unequivocal in saying he wasn't sure if he would support Trudeau in the coming election.
On Thursday, McDonald took a much different tone.
"As I said, I believe that the prime minister is a smart politician, a great campaigner, and I know he still has the best interest of Canadians at heart," the statement reads.
"I will continue to support my caucus colleagues and the prime minister as I've done since 2015."

Twitter et Instagram: @R_Boissonnault Jody Wilson-Raybould resigns from cabinet in wake of SNC-Lavalin allegations Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stressed Monday that he had 'full confidence' in Wilson-Raybould Catharine Tunney · CBC News · Posted: Feb 12, 2019 11:39 AM ET Jody Wilson-Raybould, the former Attorney General of Canada, has resigned from cabinet. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press) Jody Wilson-Raybould — the former justice minister who has kept largely silent since a news report claimed the Prime Minister's Office pressured her to help Quebec-based engineering firm SNC-Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution — has resigned from cabinet. She tweeted a link to her resignation letter this morning. "With a heavy heart I am writing to tender my resignation as the Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence," she wrote. Jody Wilson-Raybould ✔ @Puglaas With a heavy heart I have submitted my letter of resignation to the Prime Minister as a member of Cabinet... https://jwilson-raybould. … 1,873 12:34 PM - Feb 12, 2019 Statement from the Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, Member of Parliament for Vancouver Granville |... jwilson-raybould.liberal.ca "When I sought federal elected office, it was with the goal of implementing a positive and progressive vision of change on behalf of all Canadians and a different way of doing poltics." Wilson-Raybould, who was shuffled to the Veterans Affairs portfolio in January, has been under intense scrutiny since a Globe and Mail report alleged last week that the PMO wanted her to direct federal prosecutors to make a "deferred prosecution agreement" (DPA) to avoid taking SNC-Lavalin to trial on bribery and fraud charges in relation to contracts in Libya. Wilson-Raybould, who plans to stay on as MP for Vancouver-Granville, has been quiet since the 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. A spokesperson for MP Francis Scarpaleggia, chair of the national Liberal caucus, said that as of Tuesday morning, Wilson-Raybould hadn't left caucus. Ethics investigation launched Her resignation marks a significant turning point in the emerging SNC-Lavalin affair. Just a day earlier, Prime Minster Justin Trudeau told reporters he continues "to have full confidence in Jody." He also insisted that he did not direct Wilson-Raybould to come to any specific conclusions on whether to direct the Public Prosecution Service of Canada to reach an agreement with SNC-Lavalin. "She confirmed for me a conversation we had this fall, where I told her directly that any decisions on matters involving the director of public prosecutions were hers alone," Trudeau said Monday. "I respect her view that, due to privilege, she can't comment or add on matters recently before the media. I also highlight that we're bound by cabinet confidentiality. In our system of governance, her presence in cabinet should speak for itself." Companies guilty of wrongdoing should be hit where it hurts — in their pockets, says business prof Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs calls out 'racist and sexist' treatment of Wilson-Raybould Trudeau says he has 'confidence' in Wilson-Raybould as ethics commissioner probes PMO over SNC-Lavalin Jody Wilson-Raybould was involved in legal government talks about fate of SNC-Lavalin, sources say Wilson-Raybould's resignation likely will cast a shadow over the upcoming election campaign. So will a recently-launched probe by the federal ethics commissioner. On Monday, Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion informed the NDP MPs who had requested an investigation that there is sufficient cause to proceed with an inquiry into Trudeau's actions in the case. Responding to a letter from NDP MPs, Dion said he would investigate the prime minister personally for a possible contravention of Section 9 of the Conflict of Interest Act, which prohibits any official responsible for high-level decision-making in government from seeking to influence the decision of another person so as to "improperly further another person's private interests." 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. With files from the CBC's J.P.

> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances

> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter

> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,

> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal

> B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the

>
> [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
