Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is hunkering down in Ottawa after the second resignation from his cabinet in less than a month over the government's handling of the SNC-Lavalin affair.
He has cancelled a planned visit to Regina today, where he had been scheduled to attend an afternoon event to promote his government's plan to battle climate change and a Liberal fundraiser in the evening.
Her departure was less than a month after former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould resigned over what she has described as improper pressure on her to halt the criminal prosecution of the Montreal engineering and construction giant. Trudeau has tried to maintain business as usual since the controversy erupted a month ago. But at public events he's been dogged by questions about the SNC-Lavalin affair.
