TORONTO — Jane Philpott has quit Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet. Prime Minister's Office spokesman Cameron Ahmad confirmed that Philpott told Trudeau of her decision on Monday. "The prime minister accepted her resignation, and thanked Ms. Philpott for her years of service to Canadians and her dedication." "It's time for every Liberal cabinet minister to ask themselves the same question Jane Philpott did: is this what you got into politics for?" When Wilson-Raybould stepped down from cabinet, Philpott shared a photo to Twitter thanking her colleague for all that she taught her, "particularly about Indigenous history, rights and justice."
