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.
