The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that former attorney-general Jody Wilson-Raybould told cabinet ministers she believed it was improper for officials in the Prime Minister's Office to press her to help SNC-Lavalin Group out of its legal difficulties. The Globe's Robert Fife and Steven Chase write that on Tuesday, Ms. Wilson-Raybould privately outlined her concerns about the handling of the SNC-Lavalin prosecution to her former colleagues within the confidentiality of cabinet, freed from the bounds of solicitor-client privilege that have restricted her public statements so far. On Wednesday, she rose in the House of Commons and said she hoped to have solicitor-client privilege waived so she could "speak my truth." According to a source with knowledge of the cabinet discussions, Ms. Wilson-Raybould said the director of the prosecution service rejected a negotiated settlement with SNC based on how the law applies to the company's case. The Liberal government had changed the Criminal Code to allow for deferred prosecutions in which a company avoids a trial. Under Canada's new deferred-prosecution agreement law, prosecutors are not allowed to consider national economic interests when deciding whether to settle with a company.
