Canada’s top bureaucrat, who has been a key player in the SNC-Lavalin controversy, is resigning as Clerk of the Privy Council.
The clerk’s testimony before the justice committee in recent weeks has revealed that officials repeatedly raised the economic ramifications of an SNC-Lavalin conviction – despite the fact that the law prevents the attorney-general from considering that factor in this particular case – but Mr. Wernick said Ms. Wilson-Raybould was not subjected to “inappropriate pressure.”
The agency in charge of overseeing anti-bribery measures at the Paris-based OECD has expressed concerns about “allegations of political interference” in the criminal prosecution of the Quebec construction and engineering firm in relation to its business activities in Libya. According to handwritten notes submitted to the justice committee, Mr. Wernick suggested to SNC-Lavalin’s chief executive officer that the company should approach the director of public prosecutions to discuss the"public-interest argument” for avoiding a criminal prosecution.
Rather than retire in disgrace, he should have been fired in disgrace...he’s got the last laugh his taxpayer pension is huge!!!!!
Another one bites the dust.
Everybody abandones ship. Good job Trudeau! Can't wait for the voting this year!
SNC’s newest employee? CdnPoli
What cushy job is Trudo giving him for his support of corruption ... er, “truth-telling”, I mean.
Wernick will be hired as a senior consultant at SNC-Lavalin...you saw it here first ;)
This is a resignation, plain and simple, and it should have come long ago.
