Liberal MPs to meet, discuss fate of Wilson-Raybould, Philpott in caucus cdnpoli
Sources tell CTV News that other regional and issue-specific caucuses of Liberal MPs have either discussed the matter already, or plan to meet to discuss it. The Ontario Liberal caucus is the group of Liberal members of Parliament who represent Ontario ridings.
"I do not believe that I should be removed from caucus for doing my job and doing what I believe is right," Wilson-Raybould told reporters on Parliament Hill late Monday. CTV News has previously reported that during the regularly-scheduled Wednesday caucus meeting, some Liberal MPs are expected to get up and call for Wilson-Raybould's removal. Though, it is possible that with these various smaller caucus conversations happening already, these inner-caucus tensions around both Wilson-Raybould and Philpott's future in the Liberal caucus could be decided sooner rather than later.
To a lesser extent, MPs have expressed sentiment that Philpott should also be removed after she followed Wilson-Raybould in resigning from cabinet. Philpott has said that she lost confidence in the way the government was handling the SNC-Lavalin scandal, and believes that there is more to the controversy than the government disclosed.
