Jody Wilson-Raybould says her departure from the Liberal government does not mean reconciliation with Canada’s Indigenous people is dead but the former justice minister acknowledged she battled a fellow cabinet minister over the implementation of sweeping changes that would have been part of a shelved Indigenous rights framework.
Ms. Wilson-Raybould says her departure from the Liberal government does not mean reconciliation efforts have ended. In the summer and fall of 2018, around the same time that Ms. Wilson-Raybould was under high-level political pressure to shelve the fraud and bribery prosecution of SNC-Lavalin, she was engaged in a jurisdictional battle that she eventually lost to Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett.
“I had framework documents, principles, governance toolkit dating back to when I was the regional chief. And a lot of the work that I did with the chiefs across the country then has been informed by successive passages of the years and informed by work that I did as attorney-general of Canada,” Ms. Wilson-Raybould said.
Ms. Wilson-Raybould’s request was not granted, and Ms. Bennett’s department released its first substantial report on the initiative on Sept. 7. It was intended to provide a summary of what had been learned through the consultation process.
