Butts requested to testify before the committee after watching former justice minister and attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould’s appearance, saying that he believes his evidence "will be of assistance" to the committee's "consideration of these matters."
Butts resigned as Trudeau’s top adviser on Feb. 18, denying any wrongdoing in the case and stating his intent to defend his reputation. He’s expected to spend two hours in front of the committee answering MPs’ questions. Opposition parties had been calling for Butts and others to testify for weeks before the Liberal MPs on the committee agreed to call him as a witness.
In addition to Butts, the committee has also invited back Clerk of the Privy Council Office Michael Wernick and deputy minister for justice Nathalie Drouin. Both of them have already appeared before the committee. They will be appearing between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
The jobs would still be there, just different less corrupt companies would be doing them.
We can get a house full of MPs, like Elizabeth May, with the same exemplary integrity, who do their homework and are willing to ask the right questions, if, we all vote strategically with this really simple strategy: EVERYBODY VOTE GREEN in 2019! cndpoli CanadianGreens

And Michael Wernick stated it yesterday in his testimony, that there was evidence that such jobs, pensions etc. would be threatened. It’s his job to provide information to gov’t’s about such things, not Butts.
May has developed amnesia of Rule Of Law, Such as the Law Of the Land, Constitution Act Of Canada, Constitution Act, 2008 in Regards to Six Nations Restitutions Of $100 Billion plus Interest, And Compunding Daily.
All of you who think SNC-Lavalin would stay afloat if they were denied government contracts for 10 yrs., should do a little research. It stands to reason they'd be severely crippled in Canada and would most definitely move out of country. Bye bye jobs.
HE'S GIVING MORE BS.
Can not recall, cannot remember...hmmm considering he was secretary of PMO? Also it doesn’t matter if one person loses their job, a crime is a crime!!
The job loss card is the stupidest BS ever.
ElizabethMay My thoughts exactly
ElizabethMay So is the relationship of Butts to Trudeau the same as Ray Novak was to Harper?
ElizabethMay Butts has no reason to be there but to attempt to muddy the waters on information, present a false story that forces others to waste time on a goose chase. He's Trudeau's butt kisser, he wasn't under oath, the obstruction of justice is deep in the design of such an investigation.
ElizabethMay We desperately need a house of commons full of Elizabeths! She's unafraid to ask the right questions.
eamorris_ Ottawa City Council today approved 4.6B$ LRT expansion...Guess who gets big chunk of that work. Could it be? Really? You jest! Nope. SNC Lavalin!!! Jobs, money wow! CBCTheNational globalnews cdnpoli
Y would Puglaas turn down Indigenous Services portfolio? Yes, she’d “spent her life opposed to.. Indian Act & couldn't be in charge of the programs admin under its authority,'But, that should’ve been 1 place she’d defin want to go, so she’d affect change from within CanadianPM
CBCAdrianH To bad she is the leader of the Green party. I kinda like her.
So no study whatsoever about losing 9000 or more jobs, it’s about MP for Papineau Trudeau it’s about votes not jobs
ElizabethMay It's over nothing illegal was done find something else for news the lawyer herself said nothing illegal happened
ElizabethMay The job losses will be entirely those of executives and directors. There's no study that's needed to motivate Libs or Cons to protect the handful of jobs of their major campaign donors. (Which is another reason we need CanadianGreens in office; not beholden to anyone).
ElizabethMay Too bad Elizabeth May isn't better informed about the business world - she wouldn't need to look up what the risks might be, she would have ample evidence in her memory of what often happens to companies and jobs when outside influences not of their making impact them.
Wow - I’m shocked she asked such a good question. She’s right..... there is no job loss threat. That’s JustinTrudeau spinning his web of lies again.
Elizabeth May for PM
Wow. The guys are not only thieves but complete liars.
Good question.
Hahaha. How stupid this supposed guru to Trudope looks in answering that question. It’s all about protecting jobs has been rallying cry of liberals. NO evidence jobs at stake. It’s about helping Corrupt Quebec Business who have money for favours
So what Butts just admitted was that he, Trudeau and the dozen other PMO staff interfered with the AG trying to subvert Justice for POLITICAL reasons. This guy can not be a lawyer he just admitted he committed a crime “Obstruction of Justice”...
No she asked Gerry 😁
And then said that was what he was told in multiple briefings. Can we not have quotes taken out of context, please?
How can so much power be held by an unelected official of the GOC. Clearly Butts was running this show with the PM following.
are you trying to say that if you prevent a company from bidding on government contracts for 10 years there would be no job losses....seriously....
You liar ! gmbutts JustinTrudeau CBC GeraldButts liberalcorruption SNCLavalin ObstructionOfJustice LockHimUp RuleofLawMatters TrudeauMustResign
When in doubt blame Brison
Dumb question time. How many employees have to be under threat of lay-off for a company to get government assistance to eliminate prosecution. At what number does the law change for a company? I could have sworn the law is independent of prejudice. Unless your liberal?
Holy crud, she asked better questions than anyone in the press.
WatchCTVNews Why was JWR shuffled to begin with.This SNC decision will be Presented setting.Saving jobs cannot be used when making this decision.
BillyArmagh We should just let Elizabeth do all the questioning. She asks the right things and maintains a professional, non-partisan demeanour throughout. The rest of parliament could learn more than a thing or two from her.
Wow could ctv get anymore liberal hack on the air to protect Trudeau Unbelievable how bias ctv is
GeraldButts lied many times. Let JodyWilsonRaybould reply. cdnpoli TrudeauCoverUp
He cannot incriminate himself or Trudeau, so he did not answer
I don’t get it SNC was going to move 9000 jobs outside of Canada? SNC is a master manipulator. No such thing would have ever happened. They just wanted a bye on their court case and JT was prepared to give in. A whole pile of horse manure. JustinTrudeau
That's a great question
“I can’t recall being a ‘Dick’ at all” as was stated in the testimony...
Great question Elizabeth!!! Liberals trying to spin this phony message. Only jobs they were concerned about were their own jobs.
truly this liberal gov,t has to go
Butts about one hour+ not under oath -JWR four hours under oath-now who should we believe? We cannot read the Burt’s e-mails and we can’t hear JWRs complete story-we now have a new AG that is not even a lawyer and we are to believe nothing ever happened
Butts testimony is pretty much the final nail in Trudeau's political career. I don't know what made Butts and Trudeau think this was a good idea.
In other words, political interference for bullshit reasons.
They are working very hard to justify something they claim never took place.
Regardless, laws are laws
Never trust Elizabeth May she's a liar she's a criminal just like every other politician out there
