Former minister ‘reminding Indigenous women and girls that it’s possible to change the narrative’
Indigenous leaders and advocates across the country expressed their support for former justice minister and attorney-general Jody Wilson-Raybould, who spoke out for the first time on the SNC-Lavalin affair and emphasized the connection between her respect for the rule of law and her Indigenous upbringing.
Ms. Wilson-Raybould’s sister, Kory Wilson, told The Globe and Mail before her sister’s testimony that she is proud of her sibling. “I admire her courage, integrity and commitment to making Canada a better country,” she said in a text message. Reached at a chiefs’ council meeting, the president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs said Ms. Wilson-Raybould – who was until earlier this week entirely bound by solicitor-client privilege and cabinet confidence – detailed an attempt to “beat her into submission” on the SNC-Lavalin matter. “It makes one more angry about how terribly she was treated, how she was coerced, how she was browbeaten,” Grand Chief Stewart Phillip said after watching her opening remarks at the meeting.
