Commissioner,
For three weeks Canadians have been gripped by the news surrounding interference by the Prime
Minister and his closest politcal allies in the bribery and fraud trial of SNC-Lavalin. Explosive
testimony from former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould confirmed a “consistent and
sustained” campaign to politically interfere in prosecutorial discretion,
She confirmed that there were “veiled threats” of consequences if she did not bend to the political
wishes of the Liberal Party and the financial interests of the shareholders of SNC-Lavalin. It was
also clear that these actions rose to the highest ranks of the government.
Itis contrary to section 423.1(1) of the Criminal Code to engage in any conduct with the intent to
provoke fear in the Attorney General. It is further contrary to Section 139 of the Criminal Code to
attempt to obstruct or defeat the course of justice.
According to the facts as have been revealed in media reports, Pariamentary testimony from the
Clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick, and most significantly the recent comments of the former
Attomey General, Canadians are rightly concerned that criminal law has been violated.
‘These are incredibly serious allegations. And | do not write these words lightly. But the matter at
hand appears, on its face, to be a gross violation of the law. | feel thatit is my duty to inform you of
this matter.
| urge you to ensure that you use all resources at your disposal to fully and fairly investigate any
potential criminal activity.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this very important issue.
Sincerely,
Hon. Andrew Scheer
Leader of the Official Opposition
