Trudeau moves to shore up Liberal caucus support as SNC-Lavalin controversy continues


Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has moved to shore up support in his Liberal caucus as the aftershocks of Jody Wilson-Raybould's resignation from cabinet rocked both Parliament Hill and members of his own party. But unlike the party's normal caucus meetings, this was a one-way call — with Trudeau doing the talking. The unusual call to Liberal MPs came as Trudeau's government scrambled to deal with the aftershocks of Wilson-Raybould's abrupt resignation Tuesday as Veterans Affairs minister. I never had a call from the prime minister or the Prime Minister's Office to push me in a certain direction." Some Liberal MPs suggested anonymously in media reports that Wilson-Raybould was difficult to deal with and didn't have friends in caucus.
