Read the letter Jody Wilson-Raybould sent Liberal MPs as they consider whether to kick her out of caucus.
On Monday, as the MPs from the federal Liberal Party prepared to meet in Ottawa to discuss whether former justice minister and attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott, the former Treasury Board president who resigned from caucus over the government’s handling of the SNC-Lavalin scandal, should remain members of caucus, Wilson-Raybould sent her colleagues a letter. Its text is below.c/o Mr. Francis Scarpaleggia, M.P.
As part of committing to this transformative and progressive path, we were also committing to a government and caucus that represented all Canadians. Diverse and inclusive, our Caucus was to be a microcosm of Canada — not just geographically, but demographically. Indeed, I believe we understood that to build a stronger Canada, we needed to reflect that Canada.
Now I know many of you are angry, hurt, and frustrated. And frankly so am I, and I can only speak for myself. I am angry, hurt and frustrated because I feel and believe I was upholding the values that we all committed to. In giving the advice I did, and taking the steps I did, I was trying to help protect the Prime Minister and the government from a horrible mess.
