Yesterday, former Justice Minister and Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould testified before the justice committee on the ongoing SNC-Lavalin scandal.

Bob Zimmer, MP for Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies was there.

This morning he issued the following statement on Wilson-Raybould’s testimony: 



Prime Minister Trudeau has said that he “completely” disagreed with Wilson-Raybould’s characterization of events and that he and his staff did not act inappropriately.

"Canadians need to know that we have an officer of Parliament who is tasked with a specific role to make sure that in questions where there are disagreements amongst politicians, amongst elected officials, there is an arbiter who is empowered to be like a judge… who will make a determination in this issue," Trudeau said.

"So while political parties and various people are making, or trying to draw a lot of attention to this issue, there is a process… that will make a determination on what actually happened here so Canadians can be reassured that out intuitions continue to function, so that our governments function in accordance with the rule of law, and that we continue to stay focused on the things that really matter to Canadians," he said.
