In her most recent MP report local NDP MP Niki Ashton responded to cabinet minister Jane Philpott’s resignation from the Trudeau Cabinet.

 

Ashton said Philpott was a well respected minister especially for her work with indigenous peoples across Canada.

 

Philpott resigned a few days after Jody Wilson Raybould’s testimony about the SNC Lavalin affair.

 

Ashton said the resignations highlight just how deep rooted the scandal is.

 

The report stated that the NDP has been putting people first choosing investments for people over corporations.
