PUBLISHED: 03/31/2019 Today on the Unpublished Cafe podcast: The explosive story of political meddling in a judicial decision was just the tip of the iceberg. Since the story broke, it’s become much more than just a “he said-she said” dispute. There’s been calls for the PM to step down, the call for a public inquiry and even a police investigation. For the Liberals, blood is in the pool and the sharks are circling. As mentioned this scandal keeps fanning the flames of discontent. Now we have a damning audio recording between Jody Wilson Raybould and Canada’s Top public servant, Michael Wernick in which a deferred prosecution agreement is discussed for SNC-LAVALIN . That takes the story in a whole new ethical and legal direction. Here on the Unpublished Cafe, we will endeavor to bring you the leaders of the federal parties for their perspective. As for SNC-LAVALIN, it estimates it’s lost $5 billion in potential business since the scandal broke and it’s competitors are using the scandal to their benefit. ———————————— https://www.unpublished.vote/issue/340/the-legal-implications-of-the-snc-lavalin-controversy ———————————— GUESTS: Maxime Bernier https://www.maximebernier.com/about Leader, People's Party of Canada ———————————— REFERENCES: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/three-wilson-raybould-reveals-twists-1.5078199 https://nationalpost.com/opinion/andrew-coyne-wilson-raybould-recording-brings-snc-lavalin-affair-crashing-back-to-reality https://nationalpost.com/opinion/np-view-leak-yet-another-assault-on-the-rule-of-law https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/pm-stays-mum-on-clash-with-wilson-raybould-over-high-court-pick-leak-of-info https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-legault-expresses-worry-about-hostile-takeover-of-snc-lavalin-impact/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/legault-buy-shares-snc-lavalin-1.5059410 https://globalnews.ca/news/5114032/recording-phone-calls-canada-laws/ https://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/columnists/macdougall-memo-to-andrew-scheer-drain-the-swamps https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/tory-leader-andrew-scheer-met-with-snc-chief-to-discuss-criminal-charges/ar-BBTpBWa?li=AAggNb9#page=2 https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/snc-lavalin-case-shows-why-we-should-review-canadas-foreign-corruption-laws https://www.reuters.com/article/us-canada-politics-snc-lavalin/canada-court-dismisses-bid-by-snc-lavalin-to-escape-corruption-trial-idUSKCN1QP1W8 http://www.globalconstructionreview.com/news/reputation-damage-corruption-charges-more-5bn-says/ https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2019/03/28/legal-team-told-wilson-raybould-that-intervening-in-snc-lavalin-case-would-be-unprecedented.html
