Jody Wilson-Raybould secretly recorded a conversation with Michael Wernick in which she claims the country’s top public servant issued veiled threats on SNC-Lavalin. She included the audio recording as part of an additional written submission to the House of Commons justice committee. The call came after what Wilson-Raybould said was a sustained and repeated effort to get her to agree to negotiate a deferred prosecution agreement with SNC, given Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s concern about the firm’s 9,000 Canadian jobs. On Friday, the committee released this audio, which can be heard here. Wilson-Raybould’s full submission to the committee, including texts, emails, letters and transcripts, can be seen below.
