Today on the Unpublished Cafe podcast: The explosive story of political meddling in a judicial decision was just the tip of the iceberg. Since the story broke, it’s become much more than just a “he said-she said” dispute. There’s been calls for the PM to step down, the call for a public inquiry and even a police investigation. For the Liberals, blood is in the pool and the sharks are circling.
As mentioned this scandal keeps fanning the flames of discontent. Now we have a damning audio recording between Jody Wilson Raybould and Canada’s Top public servant, Michael Wernick in which a deferred prosecution agreement is discussed for SNC-LAVALIN . That takes the story in a whole new ethical and legal direction.
Here on the Unpublished Cafe, we will endeavor to bring you the leaders of the federal parties for their perspective. As for SNC-LAVALIN, it estimates it’s lost $5 billion in potential business since the scandal broke and it’s competitors are using the scandal to their benefit.
