8:30 – Jody Wilson-Raybould is set to speak to the justice committee this afternoon, meaning we might finally hear about any pressure applied on her by the PMO to abandon the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, law prof and former Saskatchewan judge, addressed the committee Monday, saying she believes any attempts to persuade the then-attorney general to change her position on prosecution would have triggered “a serious rule of law concern.” She also called for the RCMP to launch a probe into the allegations against the PMO if there is any evidence Wilson-Raybould was improperly dismissed. Turpel-Lafond joins Gormley now to discuss the SNC-Lavalin case and what we might hear this afternoon.
