OTTAWA — Liberal MPs have used their majority on the House of Commons justice committee to shut down an opposition attempt to call Jody Wilson-Raybould to testify again on the SNC-Lavalin affair. “You should be ashamed.”Today’s meeting came about at the request of opposition members, who wanted the former justice minister and attorney general to appear again to answer claims made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s former top aide Gerald Butts. They were able to force the committee to meet, but couldn’t control what happened when it did. According to committee rules, a motion to adjourn takes precedence over anything else the committee might do. “We’ve heard the prime minister speak very freely about a period of time that Ms. Wilson-Raybould has not been able to speak about,” Ramsey said.
