Ethics Commissioner: Government Conduct and Witnesses Anybody

ethics commissioner: Journalists Robert Fife, Steven Chase and Sean Fine wrote that pressure was brought to influence former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould to protect SNC-Lavalin from criminal prosecution, according to Rabble. Last week the ethics commissioner announced an investigation of possible improper government conduct. The government has struggled while denying anonymous accusations aimed at the prime minister's staff reported by The Globe and Mail. The NDP are calling for an independent judicial enquiry. Ottawa awaits a statement from Wilson-Raybould on the substance of the allegations. The Conservatives want a partisan-stocked parliamentary committee to call as witnesses anybody involved.
