OTTAWA – Jody Wilson-Raybould is testifying before the House Justice Committee on the SNC-Lavalin scandal, which centres on allegations of political interference in a criminal case. WATCH LIVE: CTV News special coverage as former AG Jody Wilson-Raybould testifies before the House Justice Committee This is the first time she is speaking publicly since the controversy began unfolding. The allegations she will be responding to are whether or not she felt pressured by senior government officials when she was attorney general to instruct federal prosecutors to drop the criminal prosecution of the Quebec construction and engineering giant and pursue a remediation agreement instead.
Wilson-Raybould had asked to be able to “speak my truth,” free from solicitor-client privilege and cabinet confidence, which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau waived in advance of her committee appearance. The waiver he has granted her allows her to speak about conversations and communications she had during her time in her previous portfolio as justice minister and attorney general on this specific SNC-Lavalin case.
I'm not a Liberal but iam proud of her tenacity..strongwoman. We need more Parliament Members like her good for you!
Trudeau is guilty of “Obstruction of Justice” which is a crime - members of the PMO admitted, Clerk of Privy Council, to pressuring the AG over the SNC file to drop charges - so they’ve already publicly admitted to the crime of Obstruction of Justice...the RCMP must investigate!!
Error Error. Justin is a feminist lyingLisa is blowing up right now along will corrupt Bell Media. fakenewsCTV 🤯
Somebody should pull Trudeau’s passport before he tries to leave Canada...😉
Love your honesty Jody!💓
Obstruction of justice
Trudeau has been exposed for the liar and crook that he and his senior people are. Time to truly drain the swamp!
Liberal trolls and sock bots incoming that Raybould waited to say something only after she was removed as AG in 3,2,1....
While the Cons in the USA and the Libs in Canada two sides of same coin currently having damaging testaminy against the right and left leaders
She cannot implicate the PM anyway, she has a muzzle on for certain topics
This is classic, Trudeau is the fall guy for the Liberals as he doesn't have the intelligence to know he's been played by his own party. So naive and innocent, a selfie egocentric child playing in a very manipulative grownup world.
This is what happens when to get a drama teacher to be the head of a country
Just a reminder for my liberal friends
When providing LIVE coverage of Parliament Committees, DO NOT let 'Breaking News' scroll to cover ID of speaker, MP, Riding etc!
RCMP probe. Trudeau resigns immediately
Snakebite350 Trudeau needs to resign, the rcmp need to start investigating this Govt for criminality, and an election must be called. We mustn’t let this stand in Canadian Govt. We must move forward the right way and let the Police do their job immediately
Puglaas should be the leader of the Liberals...... I’d consider voting liberal again.
itsTim_eh Nice picture CTV, unfortunately you forgot to pencil-in little devil horns.
Jail trudeau. Make history BABY.
Jody Wilson-Raybould is very confidant and believable.
She went above and beyond, now to punish those involved, reaffirm Canadians faith in our Judicial system.

Well theJagmeetSingh it is in the fall. This doesn’t go away for the Libs. Don’t waste your vote and split the left. Let’s give the NDP a chance at govt. Just saying.
11 people involved?
Anybody want to start a pool to see how many days before ctv starts spinning this in JustinTrudeau favor?
Proud u told the truth and would not let them control you!
My respect has gone up considerably for her. I was not a fan after the Colton Bushie fiasco and her premature comments, but now I am a fan
This is what a Prime Minister should sound like. Tough as nails, intelligent and articulate. Bye bye Trudeau.
Trudeau for nearly four years thinks he is above the law!
Lets see junior spin this, JWR has basically called him and the Privy clerk liars and it looks like she has the records to back her story.
this totally contradicts the PMO .... Mr. Trudeau and his secretary. Geezzzz. conflict north and south of the 49th parallel now.
Uh oh! Your golden boy is going down CTV. 💰🤣😬
Canada's Cohen this lady trying a coup...Im with Trudeau 🇨🇦
She prevented the obstruction of justice......is there a law against attempted obstruction of justice? If so, it sure looks like some jail time for PM.
Crooked liberals.
Puglaas Amazing testimony! Very well articulated!
Ooooof
holy shit.......the Liberals are in BIG problem.......they going down
Could be the End of the Government
