Senators challenged to prove their independence by inviting Jody Wilson-Raybould to testify

OTTAWA — Tories in the Senate are urging senators appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to prove their independence by inviting former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to testify at committee.

That was not so, argued Trudeau’s former principal secretary Gerald Butts, who also resigned his position last month. Butts and privy council clerk Michael Wernick, who announced his retirement last week, testified that there was no wrongdoing, only a desire to protect Canadian jobs. Conservatives have a minority, and the legal committee is chaired by Liberal Sen. Serge Joyal. Liberals in the Senate don’t sit in a caucus with MPs, like Conservatives do, because Trudeau kicked them out in 2013. But the leader of the Independent Senators Group said he worried any whiff of partisanship would “infect” an inquiry.

Time for Jody to stop bashing the Liberal brand but still wanting to keep her seat and run as a Liberal in the coming election. Make up your mind Jody. Are you in or out ?

This is not a study. What kind of study is that? It is of partisan interest.

It is a study. It is a platform for partisan conservatives to vent their hatred of the Prime Minister. It is better shutdown.

So how long does this questioning going to go on for? Call it a day people.

This is not true. JUST suggested that in a compromise that JWR prove further info via a written statement.. Meaning they shut down NOTHING.. And JWR has now taken them up on that offer. DoBetter

Canadians deserve to hear the truth. Puglaas is trying to tell the whole story. But note: Her submission to Justice Committee will be limited due to OIC “confines of the waiver of cabinet confidence and solicitor-client privilege”

Let JWR explain why she thinks she's so special. All ministers serve at the pleasure of the PM. Cabinet shuffles occur in all governments. She was offered another important ministry but declined. Why? I have never heard of this nonsense happening in any other cabinet.

This “scandal” would not have seen the light of day under a CON regime.

Geeesshh... is this breaking news?

The cover up continues...how ignorant are many Canadians of the law not to be demanding an RCMP investigation immediately?

Must have used the Harper doctrine?

Only guilty people need to cover up the facts, conceal evidence and silence witnesses.

acoyne Ask yourself what would Stephen Harper have done? They’re all the same.

Scheer: C'mon guys, this is our big chance! What else we got? Swingsets Ezra is gonna be angry if we don't pull this off!! NP: We're on it! Everyone retweet! Retweet!

So the liberals on the justice committee just allowed the bleeding in the liberals to continue

You can’t be short of news. You posted this days ago, so why repeat? Why did you choose to repeat it now I wonder...

As is their right...meanwhile the veterans file she bolted still needs a leader ready 2 help. choices

It's blatantly obvious that something happened which should not have. Canadians have a right to know what that something is so they can draw their own conclusion. The Liberals are trying their typical distractions but I don't think it will work this time. Canadians aren't stupid

Stop perpetuating the myth that JWR has been muzzled. No one is stopping her from speaking. Why don’t you interview her? speakjodispeak

Conrad Black: SNC-Lavalin is a sideshow to the real Wilson-Raybould issueThroughout her tenure as justice minister, she tied the government’s hands in responding to suits from Aboriginal organizations Conrad Black is a side show to real 'journalism' Not that there is much of it anymore I really can’t read Conrad black editorials. It’s usually just a super verbose miasma of too many extraneous words. Make your point. Why is the opinion of this fraudster being published?
