Jody WIlson-Raybould is declining to comment on news that a judge in Québec has ruled the SNC-Lavalin Group will go to trial.
The former justice minister says there was never a specific "end game" for her during the controversy.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has denied he or his staff acted improperly but he has conceded there was an "erosion of trust" between his office and the former justice minister.
Though the affair saw her kicked out of the Liberal caucus, Wilson-Raybould says she's comfortable with being an Independent member of Parliament and she'll keep doing the work she's always wanted to do.
Earlier this week, she and former Liberal cabinet minister Jane Philpott —who also resigned over the government's handling of the controversy — announced they would run for re-election as Independents in the upcoming general election.
The decision by the Québec judge is the latest step in criminal proceedings that began last fall after the Montreal-based engineering and construction giant failed to secure a deferred prosecution agreement, a kind of plea deal that would have seen the firm agree to pay a fine rather than face prosecution.
The RCMP has accused SNC-Lavalin of paying $47.7-million in bribes to public officials in Libya between 2001 and 2011.
The company and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have argued a criminal trial could trigger the company's relocation to the United States and the loss of thousands of Canadian jobs.
