Local political scientist comments on Jody Wilson-Raybould’s resignation
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Liberal MP Jody Wilson-Raybould’s resignation peaked the interest of much of the country on Tuesday including a local political science professor.
Jim Groom with Medicine Hat College says he doesn’t believe Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is directly involved in the scandal, but that someone else in the Prime Minister’s Office likely is.
The high-profile resignation came amid questions about whether Trudeau or anyone in his office pressured Wilson-Raybould to abandon the prosecution of a case against SNC-Lavalin when she was the justice minister.
