Conservative leader Andrew Scheer says Liberal members of the House of Commons justice committee have an opportunity today to do the right thing and get the answers Canadians deserve on the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
The Conservatives are putting forward a motion for the committee to investigate allegations that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's aides pressured Jody Wilson-Raybould to help SNC-Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution.
Scheer says voting against or watering down the motion down is an admission of guilt.
The Liberal chairman of the committee says his biggest concern is that the committee may be too partisan a venue for a review of the matter.
Wilson-Raybould has retained the counsel of Thomas Cromwell, who served on the Supreme Court of Canada from 2008 to 2016 - an unusual step for a departing cabinet minister.
