Trudeau's former top adviser asks to speak to committee probing SNC-Lavalin affair
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's former top adviser has asked to testify at the Commons justice committee probing the SNC-Lavalin affair.
Gerry Butts, Trudeau's close friend and former principal secretary, has written to the committee chair, Liberal MP Anthony Housefather, stating that after watching the testimony of Jody Wilson-Raybould, he believes his evidence would be of assistance as the committee considers alleged interference into the decision to prosecute the Quebec-based engineering and construction company.
