00:00:00.040 I think it's important that all politicians be straight with Canadians
00:00:05.160 in how they characterize their own actions and their own beliefs. I think
00:00:08.880 we're going to have an election in the coming months. You can't be inventing
00:00:14.400 things. You can't be lying to Canadians. And I think highlighting that there are
00:00:19.920 consequences in short term and long term when politicians choose to twist the
00:00:25.880 truth and distort reality for Canadians. It's not something we're going to put up 1.00
00:00:30.320 with. Had Scott Bryson not stepped down Jody Wilson-Raybould would still be
00:00:36.160 Attorney General and Minister of Justice today. We had heard representations from
00:00:42.920 various sources including the company itself that this was an issue of deep
00:00:49.100 concern to them and that it would potentially have consequences as dire as
00:00:54.120 the company having to leave Canada altogether and that would be something
00:01:00.080 that obviously would have a severe impact on the thousands of people employed
00:01:04.880 right across the country. Did you threaten to move your headquarters from
00:01:09.000 Montreal? No. Never? No. So where did this issue come up from that that was a
00:01:13.560 possibility for SNC? I don't know what people make up or what they have in their
00:01:18.840 mind. At that September meeting the Attorney General reports that she looked the
00:01:26.000 Prime Minister in the eye and said are you interfering with my role as Attorney
00:01:33.000 General because I strongly advise against it. Does the Prime Minister remember her
00:01:40.080 saying any such thing? Mr. Speaker, once she said that, I responded, no I am not. It is her decision to make. And she then committed to revisit and look into the decision once again, Mr. Speaker.
00:01:57.080 All these are elements in the testimony that we have heard that the Justice Committee examined exhaustively.
00:02:03.080 If anyone felt differently, they had an obligation to raise that with me. No one, including Jody, did that.
00:02:13.080 The allegations in the Globe story this morning are false.
