Last week, the SNC-Lavalin affair was a legal thriller. Where the former justice minister came armed with copious notes, Butts came to the justice committee armed with confessions and insider tales of how cabinets are made and political relationships are maintained. The Commons justice committee has been functioning to date more as a traditional trial, hearing one side (Wilson-Raybould) and then another (Butts). Wilson-Raybould has indicated that she’s willing to return, which means that the justice committee has lots more to hear in this story. Whether it’s a legal thriller or a family drama, a trial or a mediation, it’s clear this saga is far from over.
