OTTAWA - In a serious blow to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a second member of his Cabinet resigned on Monday, saying she had lost confidence in how the government had dealt with an escalating political scandal.
Philpott expressed unhappiness about the government’s response to allegations that officials inappropriately pressured former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould last year to help major construction company SNC-Lavalin Group Inc avoid a corruption trial. Andrew Scheer, head of the official opposition Conservative Party, repeated calls for Trudeau to quit amid “ethical rot” he said was undermining the rule of law.
“The second resignation begs the question – what did happen and could there be more resignations,” he said by email. Philpott, 58, was widely regarded as one of the best of Trudeau’s cabinet ministers. She had previously served as minister of health and minister of indigenous services.Slideshow
