OTTAWA — It was a little after 5:30 p.m. on Monday afternoon, and Pierre Poilievre was regaling a mostly-empty House of Commons chamber with an ode to Hong Kong’s criminal justice system. “Hong Kong has a British legal system, respected around the world — at least for now,” Poilievre said. Among them, however, was the central figure in the SNC-Lavalin affair, Wilson-Raybould herself. Though present, her attention seemed to come and go; she seemed to pay little attention to Poilievre’s Hong Kong soliloquy, for example, typing messages on her phone instead. And if the Conservative motion is voted down, Poilievre will continue his House of Commons marathon monologue, while his colleagues start looking for their next opportunity to keep the SNC-Lavalin story alive.
