Justice Minister and Attorney General of Canada David Lametti is appearing before MPs tonight to answer questions about SNC Lavalin, the prosecution of Vice-Admiral Mark Norman and the independence of the Canadian justice system. CBC will be live streaming the committee of the whole from its start until its expected finish at 9:49 pm. Conservative MP Lisa Raitt opened the questioning by alleging Lametti's government tried to frustrate Norman's defence team's requests for documents. Lametti said that, while he was not the justice minister at the time, he is confident his department met its obligations. Ramsey followed up by asking if "the minister think(s) that he was appointed as the new minister of justice and attorney general because he's an Quebec MP and arguably more receptive to a DPA with SNC-Lavalin."
