OTTAWA — Another minister in the cabinet of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada quit in protest on Wednesday over accusations that he and his aides tried to influence a criminal case against a multinational Canadian company accused of bribing the Libyan government. The unexpected resignation compounds a growing political crisis that had already cost Mr. Trudeau another cabinet member and his top aide. The latest to walk away from the government was Jane Philpott, who led the treasury board and was also a former health minister and minister of indigenous affairs.
