With Canada’s former Attorney General and Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Rayboul set to testify before the House of Commons Justice Committee’s hearings this week on the sordid SNC-Lavalin affair we summarize the explosive allegations and review the not-so-good evidence of The Clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick.

We also summarize the Supreme Court’s decision in R. v. Jarvis - how did it take three levels of court before we were told that teachers can’t take secret recordings of their student’s to later use for their own sexual gratification? It’s a head scratcher.

And we dive into a fantastic new bill by Senator Kim Pate designed to fix Canada’s broken pardon system. Spoiler alert - we like it.
