Wilson-Raybould to provide emails, texts and written statement on SNC-Lavalin affair
Liberal-dominated committee shut down study of allegations of political interference in criminal case
Jody Wilson-Raybould says she will provide a written statement and copies of text messages and emails to the Commons justice committee that shut down its probe of the SNC-Lavalin affair.
This week, the Liberal MPs who hold the majority on the committee voted to close down the inquiry without recalling the former attorney general and justice minister to testify a second time in response to other witnesses.
In a letter today to the committee chair, Liberal MP Anthony Housefather, Wilson-Raybould said she would respond to a request to provide copies of texts and emails she cited in her Feb. 27 testimony before the committee.
"Related to these requests, I also have relevant facts and evidence in my possession that further clarify statements I made and elucidate the accuracy and nature of statements by witnesses in testimony that came after my committee appearance," she wrote.
"As such, in response to these requests, and consistent with the standard practice of the committee of receiving written submissions, I will be providing a written submission to the committee in relation to matters within the confines of the waiver of cabinet confidence and solicitor-client privilege."
Political wrangling over claims that PMO officials and others in government inappropriately pressured the former attorney general to override a decision to prosecute SNC-Lavalin on bribery charges overshadowed the Liberal budget this week.
The Conservatives triggered a marathon vote in the Commons that lasted 31 hours to protest the Liberals' decision to shut down the committee before bringing back Wilson-Raybould.
Adding to the uproar was a Maclean's interview with former cabinet minister Jane Philpott, in which she insisted there is "much more" to the SNC-Lavalin story and the Canadian public deserves to know more.

Housefather said submissions to the committee are not automatically made public but it's the committee's general practice to do so — except in the case of personal information, such as cell phone numbers or email addresses, which would be redacted.

Until she gets to speak again the only logical choice for me is to assume guilt of the Liberal Party.

Reply to @Cecil Row: And you know she’s telling the truth how exactly?
Because it fits YOUR narrative?
Regardless, the questions have been raised so there should be a full enquiry into this, and that includes the AGs behaviour as well.

YUP Methinks the first question I would ask her in an enquiry is why did she have her minions attack me in Federal Court N'esy Pas?

JWR says she has proof and is willing to disclose it. Good for her, However you know that the Liberals will kill any attempt to have this proof become public knowledge.

The Trudeau Regime's desperate cover up continues - Canadians are fed up with this abusive behaviour.

Some posters like claiming they speak for many Canadians. When I see claims like that I remember Doug Ford claiming he speaks for all Ontarians before he was elected.
I can speak for myself and don't speak for others that I have never met.

"Jody Wilson-Raybould says she will provide a written statement and copies of text messages and emails to the Commons justice committee that shut down its probe into the SNC-Lavalin affair."
I hope the written statement is in addition to the text messages and e-mails.
I also want the "Justice" Committee to make these documents public, and to allow an open and televised (to the public) view of what will be going on. The Liberals may try to blockade the Conservatives in the justice committee, but if they want this story to go away, they have to be open to all Canadians!

Why not just take the gag off and let her testify under oath and just tell the truth. Another question is what she is providing to the liberal majority committee be made public for the people of Canada to see?
