Committee chair says probe of Wilson-Raybould affair a possibility
OTTAWA — The Liberal chair of the House of Commons justice committee is open to probing whether the Prime Minister’s Office tried to influence the former justice minister not to proceed with a prosecution of Quebec corporate giant SNC-Lavalin.
The justice committee meets Wednesday at the request of opposition MPs to decide whether to launch such a study. Liberals hold a majority on the committee and will decide whether the study gets the green light or not.
Anthony Housefather, a Montreal Liberal MP who has chaired the committee for the last three years, said if the members can come together in a non-partisan fashion, they could help get to the bottom of the allegations rocking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.
