Vancouver Granville M-P Jody Wilson-Raybould is set to tell her side of the story today, after weeks of silence on allegations the Prime Minister’s Office pressured her when she was attorney general to drop prosecution of S-N-C-Lavalin. But Wilson-Raybould is already warning she won’t be able to speak freely about everything when she testifies to the House of Commons justice committee. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued an order-in-council Monday that waived the solicitor-client privilege and cabinet confidentiality provisions that Wilson-Raybould has said were preventing her from commenting. But in a letter to the justice committee, Wilson-Raybould says the waiver covers only her time as attorney general — it doesn’t release her to talk about anything that happened after she was moved to veterans affairs or after she quit cabinet.
