For one reason: if Minister Brison had not resigned, Minister Wilson-Raybould would still be Minister of Justice today. The Prime Minister chose Minister Lametti because he is a distinguished McGill Law professor with graduate degrees from Yale and Oxford. The Prime Minister spoke to Minister Philpott in person in his office on Sunday the 6th. She said Minister Wilson-Raybould was an excellent choice for Indigenous Services, but worried she would see it as a demotion. I know it from long personal experience with the Prime Minister: if something improper had been happening, and that impropriety had been made known to him, the Prime Minister would have put a stop to it.
