OTTAWA — The Senate is still debating whether or not to invite former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to testify about the SNC-Lavalin affair and at least one senator wants former prime minister Stephen Harper to show up, too. They have also argued that if independent senators appointed by Trudeau are really independent, they will allow further study. Another independent senator tried to adjourn debate, but not before Plett got his reaction on the record. “I think it is shameful that we would make such a mockery out of such a serious situation where Canadians have been cheated, where a prime minister is under investigation … where ministers have come down, condemning this prime minister and his government. Meanwhile, more debate has yet to happen on a different motion from independent senator André Pratte.
