Veterans Affairs Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould has quit the federal cabinet and hired a former Supreme Court justice to advise her on what she can say about the SNC-Lavalin affair.
Her resignation comes less than a week after The Globe and Mail newspaper reported Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or his staff pressured her to arrange a deal that would have let the Montreal-based company avoid a criminal prosecution on allegations of corruption and bribery.
Trudeau previously said he'd told Wilson-Raybould that any decision on the subject was hers alone.
