Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says an "erosion of trust" between his former top adviser and Jody Wilson-Raybould led to the controversy over the SNC-Lavalin file. He said an erosion of trust developed between his then principal secretary, Gerry Butts, and Wilson-Raybould. "I was not aware of that erosion of trust, and as prime minister and leader of the ministry, I should have been," he said. Butts blamed the crisis engulfing the Liberal government on a breakdown in trust and communications that led to the resignations of two top cabinet ministers. CBC News reported that Trudeau huddled up for high-level discussions Tuesday to determine next steps in the ongoing SNC-Lavalin controversy.
