It was yet another sign that tensions in an independent-majority upper chamber, where newer members are preoccupied by snuffing out partisanship, are starting to boil over
OTTAWA — The Senate is still debating whether or not to invite former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to testify about the SNC-Lavalin affair and at least one senator wants former prime minister Stephen Harper to show up, too.
After being shuffled from justice in January and resigning from cabinet in February, Wilson-Raybould testified at the House of Commons justice committee that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tried to inappropriately interfere in the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin for political reasons — and that she suspected her decision not to bow to that pressure was the reason she lost the attorney general job.
“If anything, I find myself surprised by the outreach displayed by the members opposite. After all, PMO pressure on the Conservative government caucus of the Senate during the last Parliament is well documented,” Ringuette said, before reading from an Ontario Court of Justice decision that acquitted Sen. Mike Duffy of criminal charges in 2016.
