OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is hunkering down in Ottawa after the second resignation from his cabinet in less than a month over the government's handling of the SNC-Lavalin affair. She told the House of Commons justice committee that she believes the pressure was inappropriate but not illegal. He now appears to have decided to keep a low profile at least until after his former principal secretary, Gerald Butts, testifies at the justice committee on Wednesday. His letter of resignation suggested that he'd be freer to defend his reputation from outside the Prime Minister's Office. After Wilson-Raybould's testimony last week, Butts asked to appear before the justice committee, where he said he would "produce relevant documents."
