The Prime Minister’s Office has been accused of interfering to stop Wilson-Raybould, once head of the Justice Department, from prosecuting Quebec engineering giant SNC-Lavalin. Trudeau denied any direction was given to her regarding SNC-Lavalin, and that neither he nor his staff did anything improper in the matter. He said he didn’t want to guess about her political future but imagined relations are tense within the party currently. “To put more emphasis on Aboriginal issues into a mainstream political party and convention is a huge opportunity not only for Aboriginal people but for Canadians in general. I’ve never met anyone who works harder then her.”David P. Ball is a Vancouver-based reporter covering democracy and politics.
