Subject: Deal for SNC-Lavalin could still be on the table, says Trudeau�s public services minister

Thu., Feb. 28, 2019
OTTAWA�A deal to allow SNC-Lavalin to avoid criminal liability could still be on the table amid a furor over whether the Trudeau government tried to meddle in the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin, the Star has learned.
�My understanding is when criminal proceedings are ongoing that that option is always available,� Public Services and Procurement Minister Carla Qualtrough said in an interview.
The requirement to continually assess the strength of the prosecution case, evidence, witnesses, and changing circumstances are �an ongoing obligation� within the DPA (deferred prosecution agreement) regime, as in any prosecution, she said.
Qualtrough, a lawyer, is the minister for federal procurement and shares responsibility for the government�s corporate integrity reforms.
She underlined that she is not the attorney general and the definitive opinion would have to come from David Lametti, Jody Wilson-Raybould�s successor and a Quebec MP, but said her understanding is that it is remains open to the attorney general to intervene.
�If you think of a criminal trial, maybe a prosecutor said no (to a deal) because he or she thought the evidence was really strong and then finds out two months later it�s less strong, maybe a witness doesn�t come through,� said Qualtrough. �So there�s always an option for both the prosecutor and the attorney general as long as the criminal proceedings are still underway to exercise that option of pursuing a DPA. So the decision isn�t final,� she said. �It�s kind of revisitable.�

This threat to proceed with political interference in a criminal justice prosecution is precisely what we fear. This government seems determined to undermine judicial impartiality. This tedious hair-splitting to justify acting beyond its legitimate powers is frightening.
The government that can intervene in a criminal proceeding to protect a criminal organization can also intervene to unjustly persecute an enemy, or even anyone it considers a pest.
That could be any one of us. Political interference in the administration of justice is unacceptable; it is the demarcation point between a lawful nation and a dictatorship.
