Jody Wilson-Raybould says she has heard from “thousands” of Canadians since her bombshell testimony in Ottawa. And she’s ready to run for re-election in the fall.
Jody Wilson-Raybould says she is “overwhelmed and grateful” about an outpouring of public support since her scorching testimony in the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
“I have heard from thousands of people — neighbours, friends, constituents, as well as people from all across Canada.” She said she faced a “sustained effort” and “veiled threats” to intervene in the case. Trudeau removed her as attorney general in January and she resigned from his cabinet outright on Feb. 12.
Trudeau has denied he did anything improper in the SNC-Lavalin case and said he “completely disagrees” with Wilson-Raybould’s version of events. “I haven’t yet had the opportunity to review her entire testimony,” Trudeau said. “I will do that before making any further decisions.”“I was confirmed as the Liberal Party of Canada candidate for Vancouver Granville last year,” she said.
The House of Commons is now on a two-week break. Wilson-Raybould said she returned to Vancouver late Friday and is happy to be home.
