OTTAWA - The head of Canada’s federal bureaucracy said on Monday he was quitting over his role in handling a corporate corruption case that has sparked a political crisis and damaged the ruling Liberals’ hopes of re-election in October.
Trudeau has been on the defensive since Feb. 7 over allegations that top officials leaned on former Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould to ensure engineering and construction firm SNC-Lavalin Group Inc avoided a corruption trial. “Recent events have led me to conclude that I cannot serve as clerk of the privy council ... during the upcoming election campaign,” Wernick said in his letter.
The scandal is the most serious faced by the 47-year-old Trudeau since he led the Liberals out of the political wilderness and into power in 2015. Earlier this month, Trudeau denied he or his officials had interfered in Canada’s judicial system, and he offered no apology. He admitted lessons could be learned and blamed himself for not having realized Wilson-Raybould was unhappy.
