Jane Philpott, a key member of Trudeau’s Cabinet, said she was quitting over the government’s response to allegations that officials inappropriately pressured former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould to help major construction company SNC-Lavalin Group Inc avoid being tried for corruption. The surprise resignation by Philpott, who was president of the Treasury Board, followed Wilson-Raybould’s departure on Feb. 12 amid the scandal that has led to opposition calls for Trudeau to step down.
