Trust that Mr Scheer and everyone else who sits in opposition know that Jody Wilson-Raybould may have lost her mandate as Justice Minister because of her failings in Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal within my lawsuit against the Crown that was filed when Harper was the Prime Minister and Mr Scheer was the Speaker. Need I say that it irritated me bigtime when Jody appointed her Deputy Minister to the bench of Federal Court not long after I argued their minions in the Federal Court of Appeal?

Wilson neglected her job by refusing remediation agreement.
Canada gains nothing by charging a corporation criminally, the executives were the guilty ones and should be charged not innocent workers and investors."
This is the best hot take you've had in a while Troy. Let me see if I can summarize.... The PMO may have acted illegally but it was the right choice. Conservatives are anti business (that's a new one). And even if SNC acted illegally it's fine because it was in the best interests of Canada....
Did I get that right Troy? And when are you running for public office? You've got yourself a heck of a platform there.

The leader of the federal Opposition has sent a letter to the prime minister to demand he cede the solicitor-client privilege that former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould says prevents her from commenting on the SNC-Lavalin case.
The request is outlined in a letter sent by Andrew Scheer on Sunday morning, pushing for Justin Trudeau to allow Wilson-Raybould to speak about allegations she was pressured by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) to help the Quebec construction company avoid criminal prosecution.
It comes on the heels of a Globe and Mail report last week, citing anonymous sources, that members of Trudeau's office tried to press then-Justice Minister Wilson-Raybould to have federal prosecutors negotiate a "remediation agreement" with SNC-Lavalin rather than move ahead with legal proceedings.
The Quebec engineering and construction giant has been charged with fraud and corruption in connection with payments of nearly $48 million to public officials in Libya under Moammar Gadhafi's government, and allegations it defrauded Libyan organizations of an estimated $130 million.
A senior government official told CBC News the new justice minister, David Lametti, is being asked for his advice on waiving that privilege. (Wilson-Raybould was shuffled to the post of minister of veterans affairs last month.)
The official added that the House of Commons justice committee will be left to make its own decisions and that the prime minister still has confidence in Wilson-Raybould.
Justice committee chair Anthony Housefather told CBC News he would be convening an emergency meeting on Wednesday to discuss the proposal from the Conservatives and the NDP asking for high-level government officials to testify.
He added that the committee will then determine if they want to take action, and what that action should be.
On Friday, Wilson-Raybould released a statement saying that as the government's top lawyer, she is bound by solicitor-client privilege and cannot publicly talk about aspects of the case.
That's what Scheer is pushing for.
"I call on you to immediately waive solicitor-client privilege in respect of any advice given to you or your staff in relation to the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin," he wrote. "Additionally, I call on you to also waive any and all rights to confidentiality in respect of communications to or from yourself or any member of your staff (previous or current) in relation to the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin."
Scheer notes that two former prime ministers waived that legal right in order to co-operate with different investigations: Stephen Harper during the investigation into Sen. Mike Duffy's expenses, and Paul Martin, who waived cabinet confidence during the Gomery inquiry into the federal sponsorship scandal.
"Canadians deserve answers on this 'matter,' as the allegations surrounding it strike at the very heart of fair and impartial law enforcement and prosecutorial functions, themselves vital to the rule of law and to our democracy," the letter continues.
"If you do not meet this obligation, Canadians can only conclude that there is something you wish to keep hidden."
Earlier this week, Scheer, backed by the NDP, called for an emergency meeting of the Commons justice committee to question high-ranking officials — including Wilson-Raybould herself.

My there are a lot of conservatives waiting in the wings to comment on anything the liberals do and I'm not a liberal supporter.
We intuitively know the conservatives would have acted no differently faced with the possible bankruptcy of one of Canda's sweethearts. We know that from past experience
of the conservatives who place corporations first. And after their time in office, they go to work for them, same as the liberals.
So this is not about conservatives and liberals, this is about changing laws to hold CEOs and top managers responsible. This is about preventing top politicians from doing any lobbying for at least 5 years after they have served in office. This is about real accountability and real justice.

Wilson neglected her job by refusing remediation agreement.
Canada gains nothing by charging a corporation criminally, the executives were the guilty ones and should be charged not innocent workers and investors.

@Troy Mann Remediation became the law in Canada as a result of intense SNC Lavalin lobbying and pressure on the government. The applicable law was buried in Bill C74 which was an Omnibus Bill entitled The Budget Implimentation Act 2018, tabled by Morneau, NOT the Attorney General. In committee, members of ALL parties argued against it. It still became law on the direction of the Prime Minister in a majority vote, passing 3rd reading on June 6, 2018. SNC Lavalin was already under prosecution

If SNC is prosecuted they will go bankrupt and 10000 canadians all highly paid will lose their jobs for no reason. Other Canadian companies will leave Canada due to investor demands to be protected from government prosecutions.

He clearly didnt as the case is still proceeding.
He has every right and obligation to talk to Minister of justice and provide an options such as deferred prosecution agreement which are legal and used by the US and EU.
He has every right to appoint and remove the Minister of justice at his whim.
He has done nothing illegal in fact I'd say he was obligated to discuss the remediation options in order to protect Canadian jobs, the innocent canadians who work those jobs and retired Canadian investors.
Wilson failed to follow the law and direct prosecution to offer remedial agree.ent as an option or even investigating if they are an option. Wilson as Attorney General has the legal means to direct prosecution to remedial enforcement over criminal.
Look at the facts and you will see.

Scheer sends a letter now & uses the CBC to attack the Liberals, yet he and the rest of the Harper Conservatives wouldn't even accept open questions or have communication with the media when they were in office. They wanted everything in advance & screened persons and questions before any press conference. That crew should have been flushed away long ago, but we are still knee deep in what they left behind.

The real questions is: how is the CBC reporting on a Trudeau scandal? According to a lot of conservatives, they're just the Liberal Government's propaganda wing..... It's almost like, maybe the CBC is actually a credible source of information on Canadian politics and will report on scandals, regardless of which party is involved.... Maybe, just maybe, everything isn't a conspiracy.....

@Earl Higgins Wow, you're making some aggressive assumptions there Earl. For one there's a big difference between placing "corporations first" as you allege the Conservatives do and doing something illegal to aid a corporation. Assuming the conservatives would do the same thing is completely unjustified and really besides the point. And this isn't about waiting in the wings for "anything the liberals do", this allegation is that the PM or at least the PMO illegally pressured the AG to step in- that's a bit different than a standard slip up, it's against the law. And as mentioned in the article when confronted with a similar situation with Mike Duffy the conservatives waived privilege to allow the AG to speak. Will the Liberals do the same? That's the only question that matters, and if not, then why not?

Canada gains nothing by charging a corporation criminally, the executives were the guilty ones and should be charged not innocent workers and investors."
This is the best hot take you've had in a while Troy. Let me see if I can summarize.... The PMO may have acted illegally but it was the right choice. Conservatives are anti business (that's a new one). And even if SNC acted illegally it's fine because it was in the best interests of Canada....
Did I get that right Troy? And when are you running for public office? You've got yourself a heck of a platform there.

@Troy Mann It seems to me that your argument is that companies should be protected from prosecution because prosecution hurts the innocent workers. I'm not trying to mischaracterize your arguments so please clarify if I have it wrong. The natural follow up is at what point would it be okay to prosecute a company? I mean, SNC was allegedly involved in massive bribe and fraud but that's apparently not enough. What if they hired mercenaries to murder people, would that be enough? At what point does prosecution become an option given that it will always affect the innocent workers?

Man, you're just full of hot takes today. Scheer isn't calling for the PM to be prosecuted, he's asking him to waive privilege so we can find out what happened. If the PM did nothing wrong then there shouldn't be an issue. And in fact we have precedent with other PMs doing the same thing. No one's suggesting that guilt or innocence has been determined, we'd just like to find out what actually happened and it's really easy for the PM to allow that.

Remediation agreements are found throughout our allies.
Remediation agreements legislation was supported by conservatives
The Prime Minister has every right to discuss any on going case with the Minister of Justice.
Why she didnt use remediation agreement is beyond neglect of duty and puts not only 10,000 plus canadians jobs at risk it put 50,000 world wide at risk including investors all who did absolutely nothing wrong.
She should have been fired for it doing her job which is protecting innocent canadians and their jobs.
If SNC, a corporate entity is found guilty because of directions from now fired executives they will go bankrupt and Canada will not only lose one of the biggest engineering firms in the world, other corporations will not look upon Canada as a place to set up headquarters or do business. 10,000 highly skilled people will be laid off, investors including retirees will lose money because the Minister of justice did not do her job.

I also don't care about "elbowgate".
I do care that an attorney general may have been politically pressured by the PMO. If true, it is very serious and will lose the Liberals my vote in the next election.
There is no need to run silly ideologically driven narratives when the real issue is far more important.

He’s probably panicking. This was probably done all under his direction (as are most things by the Trudeau and/or the PMO. He’s also recorded meeting with the company many times over this.
His personal popularity and it’s associated protection isn’t nearly the Samar as Trudeau’s, he likely won’t be able to avoid jail time if a criminal case is opened.

Actually, silence from the political class should be the norm here as the case is before the courts. Anything said by Trudeau or Wilson-Raybould would be detrimental to the rule of law.
The cabinet discussing this case is good government because if SNC-Lavalin is found guilty, they cannot bid on any Canadian projects for 10 years. They are the largest Canadian engineering firm and they employ a 50,000 people world wide.
Settlements, ie pleading guilty with an arranged punishment, is part and parcel of the Canadian justice system and common through out the world.

Why are people so casual about criminal activites, this is decades of the same, the jobs will be picked up by other companies awarded the contracts, why is there so much concern for this Quebec company?

The executives who committed the crime should be held accountable not the innocent workers and investors.
You mentioned Quebec so I suggest bigotry is you issue. SNC is a Canadian company period.

@Troy Mann This law was not passed to protect any companies but SNC-Lavalin and Bombardier. Oil and Gas companies would not be granted such privileges.

Scheer sends Trudeau letter demanding he waive solicitor-client privilege in SNC-Lavalin case
PMO facing allegations of asking former attorney general to intervene in SNC-Lavalin court case

The leader of the federal Opposition has sent a letter to the prime minister to demand he cede the solicitor-client privilege that former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould says prevents her from commenting on the SNC-Lavalin case.
The request is outlined in a letter sent by Andrew Scheer on Sunday morning, pushing for Justin Trudeau to allow Wilson-Raybould to speak about allegations she was pressured by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) to help the Quebec construction company avoid criminal prosecution.
It comes on the heels of a Globe and Mail report last week, citing anonymous sources, that members of Trudeau's office tried to press then-Justice Minister Wilson-Raybould to have federal prosecutors negotiate a "remediation agreement" with SNC-Lavalin rather than move ahead with legal proceedings.
The Quebec engineering and construction giant has been charged with fraud and corruption in connection with payments of nearly $48 million to public officials in Libya under Moammar Gadhafi's government, and allegations it defrauded Libyan organizations of an estimated $130 million.
A senior government official told CBC News the new justice minister, David Lametti, is being asked for his advice on waiving that privilege. (Wilson-Raybould was shuffled to the post of minister of veterans affairs last month.)
The official added that the House of Commons justice committee will be left to make its own decisions and that the prime minister still has confidence in Wilson-Raybould.
Justice committee chair Anthony Housefather told CBC News he would be convening an emergency meeting on Wednesday to discuss the proposal from the Conservatives and the NDP asking for high-level government officials to testify.
He added that the committee will then determine if they want to take action, and what that action should be.
Former AG can speak — if government allows
On Friday, Wilson-Raybould released a statement saying that as the government's top lawyer, she is bound by solicitor-client privilege and cannot publicly talk about aspects of the case.
That's what Scheer is pushing for.
"I call on you to immediately waive solicitor-client privilege in respect of any advice given to you or your staff in relation to the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin," he wrote. "Additionally, I call on you to also waive any and all rights to confidentiality in respect of communications to or from yourself or any member of your staff (previous or current) in relation to the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin."
Scheer notes that two former prime ministers waived that legal right in order to co-operate with different investigations: Stephen Harper during the investigation into Sen. Mike Duffy's expenses, and Paul Martin, who waived cabinet confidence during the Gomery inquiry into the federal sponsorship scandal.
'Something you wish to keep hidden'
"Canadians deserve answers on this 'matter,' as the allegations surrounding it strike at the very heart of fair and impartial law enforcement and prosecutorial functions, themselves vital to the rule of law and to our democracy," the letter continues.
"If you do not meet this obligation, Canadians can only conclude that there is something you wish to keep hidden."
Earlier this week, Scheer, backed by the NDP, called for an emergency meeting of the Commons justice committee to question high-ranking officials — including Wilson-Raybould herself.
