A secretly recroded phone conversation between Jody Wilson-Raybould and privy council head Michael Wernick has been released.
The House of Commons justice committe released the tape on Friday of the December 19th, 2018 conversation as it relates to its investigation into the SNC-Lavalin affair.
Wilson-Raybould included the audio recording as part of an additional written submission to the committee, after testifying orally for nearly four hours about an what she feels was an intense pressure campaign last fall to persuade her to override the director of public prosecutions, who had decided not to offer the Montreal engineering giant a remediation agreement.
Wilson-Raybould claims the recording shows the country's top public servant issued veiled threats that she'd lose her job as justice minister if she didn't intervene to stop the criminal prosecution of the Quebec engineering giant.
Wernick has denied threatening Wilson-Raybould or improperly pressuring her.
