Liberals are hoping they'll get some ammunition today to fight back against accusations of political interference in the justice system when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's former principal secretary tells his side of the SNC-Lavalin saga.

Gerald Butts will be testifying this morning on the affair -- which has cost Trudeau two cabinet ministers and his most trusted adviser -- at the House of Commons justice committee.

She accepted the new post but resigned a month later after allegations of improper pressure surfaced. Since then, however, Trudeau has waived privilege and cabinet confidentiality for Wilson-Raybould and all those who dealt with her on SNC-Lavalin during her time as attorney general. "We'll be listening carefully to the voices, testimonies and opinions expressed," Cameron Ahmad, a spokesman for Trudeau, said Tuesday. "There will be more to say in the coming days and weeks as we continue to reflect on next steps."
