Treasury Board President Jane Philpott resigns from cabinet citing SNC-Lavalin affair - The Globe and Mail
Jane Philpott resigns from Trudeau’s cabinet, says she has ‘lost confidence’ in handling of SNC-Lavalin affair | National Post
IMHO- The law is to strict.
But Trudeau is facing regional, national and internal stresses over his leader ship within Caucus
Lastly- Kerist on a Krutch - we have leaders from all 3 parties that are to be honest, not the best we have.
Jane Philpott, one of the stars of the Trudeau cabinet, has resigned as Treasury Board President, saying she has lost confidence in the government and citing the pressure exerted on former colleague Jody Wilson-Raybould to abandon the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin.
“I have been considering the events that have shaken the federal government in recent weeks and after serious reflection, I have concluded that I must resign as a member of cabinet,” Ms. Philpott said in a resignation letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

OTTAWA — Treasury Board president Jane Philpott resigned Monday from the federal cabinet, saying she’s lost confidence in the way the Trudeau government has dealt with the SNC-Lavalin affair.
“A minister must always be prepared to defend other ministers publicly, and must speak in support of the government and its policies,” she said in a resignation letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “Given this convention and the current circumstances, it is untenable for me to continue to serve as a cabinet minister.”
Philpott’s resignation comes just less than a month after former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould resigned from cabinet amid allegations that the Prime Minister’s Office improperly pressured her to stop a criminal prosecution of Montreal engineering giant SNC-Lavalin.
