Pierre Poilievre has replaced the Conservative Party's top lawyer with his own pick, CBC News has learned, as he continues to shake up the party's upper echelons. The party's legal counsel, Arthur Hamilton, has been replaced with Michael Wilson, a Poilievre ally and partner at the law firm Goodmans, according to sources. Wilson, a partner in the dispute resolution group at Goodmans, helped out with Poilievre's leadership campaign. One of Poilievre's first moves upon becoming Conservative leader was to replace the head of the powerful Conservative Fund.
