"Before me two great objects. The suppression of the slave trade and the reformation of manners. What a daunting assignment. How would he set about this task? Like anyone who has a task assigned by Jehovah God, he would be imperfect. But he would be persistent. According to biographer Eric metaxas, our man, he's getting older now, so I'm going to drop the young descriptive. Our man was a man of prayer. He had memorized the 119th psalm, the longest of all the songs, and he would walk the two and a half miles from his home to parliament, praying that psalm as he walked, but this tells us he was also astute descriptor. So he's a man of prayer. He's a student of scripture and finally he surrounds himself with others of like belief. In fact, he was associated with a community known as the clapham sect who would praise study worship and work together to reform society of that time. Now, if you think about it, in order to affect a cessation of the slave trade, a change would have to occur in the thinking. In the hearts and the minds of the people in society, legal reform would require winning a vote in parliament, and such a change in parliament would require a change in society as our man put it he needed to make goodness fashionable. That's good to be difficult, though it's not impossible. Royalty was not an example for such a change, the current Prince of Wales was known for his indiscretions, so our man-made sure he led the way by example. He would spend time with his children, something fathers didn't do in that day. He spent his Sundays at home. Which, again, is something that was not done. Later, in the year 1787, our man was still a little hesitant to tackle big a friend to the anti slave trade movement, but he had a conversation with William Pitt and William grenville, while at Pitt's estate, Pitt challenged our man to give notice of emotion on the subject of the slave trade. He had been given evidence of the abuses of the trade, and had the credibility to speak on the subject, so our man took up the challenge. There was a society the society for effecting the abolition of the slave trade that brought together two religious groups, anglicans and quakers to campaign against the slave trade. It was believed that if the trade was abolished, slavery would collapse. So the society sought to influence other countries, as well as England, against the trade, articles were published prominent figures spoke petitions with hundreds of thousands of signatures were sent to parliament all in 1788. Now because our man was ill, his friend William Pitt introduced a motion in parliament to establish a privy council investigation into the slave trade. Once the report from the privy council was released in 1789, our man began his parliamentary campaign, but is any legislative body takes time to process new information, a bill to abolish the slave trade, was not introduced until 1791, some two years after the beginning of the investigation, the legislation was defeated, but this was just the beginning. The campaign continued and finally, in 1792, parliament passed a bill calling for the gradual abolition of the slave trade, but that legislation went no further. It would take two more years of work and campaigning. Finally, in 1807, some 18 years after the privy council investigation, the legislation passed both houses of parliament and a march 25th, 1807, the bill received royal assent. Because of the vastness of the British Empire, enforcement of this legislation proved to be difficult, and even though the trade was illegal, it was seen it was found that just the abolition of slave trade was not enough, slavery itself must be made illegal to truly eradicate it. So our man campaigned as much as his health and position would allow. In July of 1833 a man heard of concessions which guaranteed the passing of the bill for the abolition of slavery. Three days later our man passed away at the age of 73, a month later, slavery was abolished in the British Empire, freeing nearly 800,000 African slaves. Now, who is our man? His name is William wilberforce. Now think of the world in which he was born and the world which he left behind. They were vastly different. Not only was slavery abolished in the British Empire, but the strange idea that people should help those who are less fortunate had taken hold. Much else would change because of this change of belief, and those changes have been with us here in the west ever since. All these changes came about because one man decided to following Jesus was to be done with all his heart. Mind and soul.

How is this going to be paid for how long can we afford to continue it? It does it need to be made more calibrated tapered in the future.

"And so that would be a very self defeating tweet. Twitter, Twitter taken the headline away from the BBC. On the one hand, I'm not surprised at the same, on the other hand, it's like, well, there's a tradition dashed, you know? Do you think it's bad to broadcast things like the accession? Did any of you watch the accession ceremony? It was actually quite fascinating. I did. I've never seen one before. No one has another on the privy council and you'll never see one again, probably. Well, maybe you will. I don't know. It depends how long Charles makes it. So one of the things that, as I mentioned, he has to say, yeah, you can keep using the old seals until we get some new ones. Then the, by the way, the announcer told us, and by the way, he will have to destroy the old ones personally with a hammer. So that they aren't misused because they're used for official documents and so forth. And then they ask a bunch of questions. He has to say, for instance, promise that he is not going to be mean to the church of Scotland. Among other things, and by the way, all fountain pens, I was noticing, but I was trying to figure out who's fountain pens. Prince king now King Charles had his own fountain pen that he pulled out of a pocket unscrewed. But the other ones looked like those disposable pilot pen fountain pens. And I hope that's not what they were using. But they were all it has to be at least a month blanc. I mean, come on. Basically. Yeah, they were not roller French, sir. Yeah, maybe he doesn't use a Swiss. He must although Sammy salmon told me that they're replacing the very famous royal limousines that were land rovers, and you see them all the time now. They're replacing them with Audi a 8. And I thought, wow. You could do that. That's the best power. You couldn't do that in the replace the beast with something. Oh, that's right. The windsors are from Germany. Never mind. You see, that's how it starts. That's it. But they're going to have to up armor the Audi 8s, right? Oh yeah, they have a special way they have a special armored a 8. Shouldn't they be like a rolls or a Bentley? The beefier. You could armor a Bentley, it's a strange move. Or an Aston Martin, an Aston. Yeah, James Bond must have several he could borrow. Oh, yeah. There you go. All right. I thought we should start talking about 9 11. And QE two. And by the way, we have the same ceremony here when a Pope passes, they destroy his ring with a hammer. Do they really? Because they do. Well, I imagine that there's a certain amount of overlap between the papacy and monarchy. I mean, it is a kind of monarchy. In fact, you have even your session ceremonies are even more elaborate and more ceremonial. The Cardinals have to come in. There's a conclave and they have to vote. And I watched a movie, maybe it was a shoes of the fisherman. I don't remember where they showed the vote. They stitched the votes together. With thread. And then that's when they burned them. And if they don't have an agreement, it's a white smoker black smoke if they don't have agreement. I don't remember. It's black spoke if they don't. And it's white smoke that they do. And actually, so right there, you can actually, is this the middle towards the back, that's the smokestack. Wow. So between the episodic palace and Saint Peter's, there's actually a little green stock that you can see, and that's where the smoke is. I see it. Wow. It's a little stove. And they throw that in. It is an absolute medieval ceremony. But so is this a session? The other thing I liked and I'm going to start adopting this when they ask for the king say, all right, with your permission, we'll keep using those old seals right king and he says approved. And that's all he has to say. Approved. They move on. The only negative and I have to say this is Charles had a script. Memorize your lines, Charles. If you're going to be king, you can't be reading the script. You just memorize the lines. It's not hard. Probably still emotionally. Maybe that's it. I'll have to write his mom has passed. My mom is close to the same age. And not in great shape and that was for me in part of this emotion. I was feeling that kind of a kinship because I know this is coming soon for me too. So the end of the day, they can be kings or they all have families. Approved. And around about there's some video of him asking some to move some stuff. Over there. He's sitting down to sign some stuff. And he has his own pen. But there are these basically quill pens with jars of ink on the table, and they're in his way. Let me see if I can find the tweet because yeah, people are giving a really hard time. Somebody pulled the little clip of him. Basically, get these out of here. I don't need them. Yeah. Sure. Did I expect him to pick them up and carry them across the room? When he's just with signing stuff, absolutely appropriate. I don't think it was mean. There's a guy there. Leo has become a British man from a Monty Python escape. Disapproved. I don't approve of these pins. Get them out of here. Oh man. He wasn't that mean like money python with that accent. What's old is with these pins? Oh, great. Getting caught. Dick Van Dyke, sorry, sorry. It's all American. Just don't do Welsh. Don't do Welsh. I don't know how to do well. I love the Welsh actors like Richard Burton, but I don't know how to do their accent. It's too perfect. All right, let's talk about tech. All right. Some people would prefer we stayed with Elizabeth and the Pope. But I think we have to talk about Apple. I think there was just a little bit of tech news. It's American royalty, boys and girls. Actually, it is kind of, did you see that Johnny, so at all things DVD? The afternoon of the Apple event. Kara Swisher gets on stage. What a coup, Tim Cook, Johnny ive, and Steve Jobs widow loreen to talk about Steve and with it to announce. And I think this is American royalty. The Steve Jobs archive. And I think it was Kara's last, right? Like this was her mic drop her farewell. She got them all together. Hell of a farewell. It's decoded. It's not D anymore. No code conference. It's no longer The Wall Street Journal. RICO decode code conference. They have a lot confused. So this idea of the Steve Jobs archive, I guess, is to have a bunch of Steve videos, which of course they're all on YouTube, but the commencement address at Stanford being the best known, some voice-over, some oral history interviews and stuff. And it seems to be growing, which is cool. And then it looks like they're also putting together some fellowships, they say, we are building programs fellowships and collections and partnerships that reflect Steve's values and carry his sense of possibility forward. So this is our royalty, isn't it? The startup founder. Things that happened. Maybe loosely the businessman, the businessman is our royalty. Yeah. But that's when Tim Cook took over for Steve, it was very much like they had to break the seals, and he had to go through a hole. I mean, not exactly getting crowned, but he had a kind of be okay. We got a guy who's going to take over, you know him well. Well, there's something about a fast growing startup or a reinvigorated company that brings back its founder that it can not become the company it needs to be until the founder is gone. Because as long as the founder is still around and kicking, there's always going to be this well, was this what the company was supposed to be? Was this the regional direction? Is this where they're supposed to be going? Once the founder's gone, an organization has the freedom to sort of say, okay, we know what we were, what do we want to be? And I think when they brought in cook, that's what they actually did. They sat down and they said, Steve Jobs did a lot of good things. These are the things he didn't do great.

"First accession ceremony for 70 years marking the passing of the late monarch and the transition to a new beginning, a new king, Charles the third. Inside the opulent picture gallery at Saint James's palace in central London with about 200 members of the privy council watching on. It felt a penny mordant, the leader of the commons and lord president of the council to steer the ceremony and make the first declaration. My lords, it is my sad duty to inform you. That her most gracious majesty, Queen Elizabeth II has passed away. Watching on was 6 living former prime ministers, the cabinet, senior politicians and religious figures, only minutes before they'd been mingling party divisions put to one side unlikely pairings chatting together Boris Johnson and Gordon Brown locked in conversation, also on the platform where the queen consort Camilla and William Prince of Wales, the archbishops of Canterbury and York and prime minister Liz truss. The second part of the two stage procedure involved King Charles himself, delivering his own tribute to the reign of his late mother and pledging himself to the task now before him. My mother gave an example of lifelong love and of selfless service. My mother's reign was unequalled in its duration. Its dedication and its devotion, even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life. I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty, which have now passed to me in taking up these responsibilities. I shall strive to follow the inspiring example I have been set in upholding constitutional government and to seek the peace harmony and prosperity of the peoples of these islands and of the common rules realms and territories throughout the world. Afterwards outside on the balcony of Saint James's palace an official known as the garter king of arms, read out the formal proclamation. The Prince

"Miss her so. Prime minister Justin Trudeau says he's in disbelief over her death and that Canada is in mourning. Well, Karen outside of world leaders were hearing from people who had a close personal relationship with the queen we spoke with former adviser to the queen Mary McLeod, who says her majesty was an empowering role model. She will be remembered, I think, really as an inspiration. And I grew up thinking, I could achieve anything. There was a female monarch of female prime minister. She has been there for everyone throughout their lives. And it's hard to watch her life service a real selfless leader is how I think everyone is remembering her. Mary McLeod is a former member of parliament and adviser to Queen Elizabeth II, stay tuned for more of that conversation coming up shortly on Bloomberg daybreak. Well, Nathan the death of the queen kicks off ten days of mourning in the UK and we get the details on that from Bloomberg daybreak Europe anchor Caroline Hepburn who joins us live from London and Caroline good morning. Good morning, Karen and Nathan. We had all perhaps prepared ourselves for the death of the queen, but when it came, it was still a shock and a moment of grief for many, flags in our flying at half mast, tributes from politicians at home and abroad for her long reign and particularly her dedication to public service of being made. In the coming days, the queen's body will return from Scotland to London. She will lie in state in Westminster hall in the heart of parliament, where the public will be able to pay their own respects to the monarch of 70 years. We have no date yet, but the state funeral for the queen will take place at Westminster Abbey with markets closed. In the very place where Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor married Prince Philip in 1947 and where she was crowned queen in 1953, live in London, I'm Caroline Hepburn, Bloomberg radio. Thanks for that, Caroline. And there's also the future of the monarchy to consider at this moment. Charles the third will soon be formally proclaimed king in a ceremony dating back hundreds of years in Bloomberg daybreak Europe banker Stephen Carroll, who also joins us now from London, has the details on that, Stephen. Good morning. Good morning, Nathan and Karen. Yeah, the meeting of the accession councillors it's known due to take place tomorrow without former proclamation will take place. It's a group that includes members of the privy council historically the sovereign's most trusted advisers, also present will be officials in the City of London and from the Commonwealth. At 73, Charles is the oldest person to exceed the throne in British history, he'll now have to steer the monarchy in a country that's altered beyond recognition since his mother's accession in 1952. Live in London, I'm Stephen Carroll, Bloomberg daybreak. Right, Stephen, thank you. And King Charles now has big shoes to fill, taking over from the longest reigning monarch in British history. We get perspective now from Anthony Gardner, former U.S. ambassador to the European Union under president Obama. Well, I think he will try to respect some of the recipe of what made her a success. It may be difficult because he is a person with views. And by the way, I think he's underestimated. He said things and believe things well before they were widely believed or said. I'm thinking of certainly the environment well before his time, well before his time. Former U.S. ambassador Anthony Gardner was against on Bloomberg's sound on what Joe Matthew catched the program weekdays at 5 p.m. eastern on Bloomberg radio.

"We can for them to develop advance their own political agendas. But I imagine this Prince Charles is aware that not just in terms of the four nations, but socially in so many other ways. He's inheriting when he comes to the throne in the countries far more fragmented that's far more division than it was when his mother came to the throne socially economically in so many different ways and I think that he'll probably see that that is one of the most important things that he tackles. And Terry, we have a very different figure assuming the throne in Charles as we did with Elizabeth Elizabeth was a woman in her 20s. She was not necessarily unknown, but she did not have decades of public exposure and indeed commentary that Charles has experienced. I mean, if we look at the fact that everybody knows about his awful divorce and the trauma and the mess that was that followed, everybody knows about his views on organic farming, which were considered at the beginning of being slightly out there and wacky, but it ended up being commonplace and part of our culture. Everybody knows about the fact that he regularly wrote to the government, accepts that all this has to stop now, but we know about it and I wonder how much that makes us see him as a sort of that monarch who can rise above and who can maintain a beautiful dignified silence, which is what the queen was so famous. It's difficult because coming in as a 73 year old man who's been the heir who's been waiting for this job, all his life. He has had all of his interests. For architecture, for instance, that's another thing that we know Prince Charles views on that he's got involved with to quite a great extent in terms of the kinds of architecture he would like to see. He's got involved in all sorts of things, as you say. Farming businesses and organic farming and his gardens and, as you say, he was famous for writing these letters in kind of black spidery handwriting to ministers. Now the convention is, with the queen, we didn't know what she said to all of the 15 prime ministers that she met. We know that she gave them advice. We don't know what that consisted of. For Charles, who has been publicly active in so many different spheres. He will obviously still want to be active. But whether he's able to express his views to the same extent, the convention is that he doesn't. And how much do you think this could be politicized, Simon? I think there's a risk, I think one thing that Charles is very aware of probably is the danger of getting drawn into politics. I think it's interesting. I mean, completely agree, Terry, this idea that we do know so much about him, he has made his views very public over the years, but he's also signaled, of course, that he will now stop doing that as mono. And I wonder whether there's a sort of comparison here between monarchs of sort of literature and history who perhaps are a little bit wild, not suggesting the Prince Charles. A little bit wild in their previous years, you know, and then when they ascended the throne, they changed and became more sort of responsible and respectable if you like. And obviously you've got Edward VII. You've got prince Hal in Shakespeare. But, you know, who is more drinking and things and womanizing and things that might be considered a little less respectable. But it's still about changing when you ascend the throne. And I think there'll be a lot of speculation. Certainly, about Charles views on subjects, laws he has to pronounce in the king's speech laws that he has to sign acts that he has to sign into law. There will be a lot of speculation, I think, about how he feels about these things, but I think and I hope for the sake of the monarchy that he's actually now going to say right, I am now drawing a line under this. I will say no more and just do my before my constitutional duty. He has the immediate job obviously of mourning his mother, Terry, but we have obviously the transition to a new king. You are rather an expert on the protocol involved in all this, and you were talking to me before we went on air about the fact that the fact that the queen was unable to attend a meeting of the privy council via Zoom is a problem. It is a potential problem because as we know one of her last public acts was to greet the new prime minister Liz truss. Liz trust then formed her new cabinet, traditionally people are well, this is sworn of the privy council once if you haven't been one before, it is the privy council that then has to form this accession council, which will meet at Saint James's palace to officially proclaim Charles the new king. I mean, he is king already he then has to be proclaimed it as part of the ceremony. So some cabinet ministers may not yet formally be members of the privy council. There are enough of them to be going on with, so there are always ways around some of the formalities, but it's just interesting how much this is all still bound to the constitution and that so much of the power in a stems from The Crown in parliament. And there will be hundreds of private secretaries around the world, hastily rearranging things in anticipation of the queen's funeral. The date of which has not yet been fixed, it is too early, but the UN Security Council is not going to be in general. So diary secretaries around the world must be pulling lots of extra shifts at the moment. I started reading one report this morning, suggesting that because the data of queen's funeral is not yet fixed, it may possibly clash with the UN General Assembly, where heads of government around the world all travel to New York. Now they're all expected to be traveling to London on a different day. There's going to be a lot of confusing diary clashes for diplomats and air traffic controllers must be having a bit of a headache as well. Simon, I'm sort of realized last night that on Monday we had a change of prime minister and by Wednesday we had a change of monarch that is an almost inconceivable idea, isn't it that the United Kingdom loses its two great figureheads and has them replaced instantly within the space of a little over 48 hours. This must be an astonishing moment for Liz truss, the new prime minister. Well, absolutely. One of her advisers was telling me that this was sort of on her list of things that she might have to do, but it was pretty far down.

That's fucked up and less is authorized by the council. This led to caution frequently being appended. All right in gowdy brad heads case the council advised. They should be found guilty. Only if the confessions had been volunteered without torture. Ooh only if they weren't torture that they were saying and without a wish to die. Arcane but you have a thing or the devils. Very big dick and broomsticks. I think your sanity is questionable Maybe maybe okay. There's there's no record. And i read this an everything. There is no record of her being executed. Okay like there's no record of. Yeah it's almost like let the bitch go. She crazy she crazy. She sh- yeah. Although it is not unusual as ninety percent of scottish cases. The final out come is unknown doomed to the local records. No longer existing. I dunno for this being such a famous case. You would think gowdy m be bread. Head would have been found guilty at a local trial in mid-july transported by cart to gallow hill on the outskirts. Of darn where they would have been strangled and burned higher to sixteen seventy eight scottish with witches tried under the privy council commission were convicted and executed pit karn shared the opinion that gowdy and bread head were executed and most modern day academics like historian. Brian lee vac agree. It would be likely that that was the outcome. The possibility that the pair may have been acquitted on the basis of mental impairment. Are you crazy. That's been put forward by some historians. But i guess most are like no anyway. Yeah they're saying that they may have been freed under some of the other clauses attached to the commission and then permitted to return to quiet ups like just go be quiet anything anyway..

She should never have been convicted of two years which she got a two year conditional charge. Everybody thinks she was quote in it from the beginning But basically she led what happened was he called her after he in the period when he was missing he could've from hawaii a couple of times. He met her in copenhagen for dan half and he said would he would write to him and she subsequently wrote him four letters but all of that was after he disappeared. What's really through of fa. Sheila was that there was a newspaper on a call in february. Nine hundred seventy five. That said her close. My father had arranged for her close. We sent out in.

The document did provide the expected. Freedom of conscience provided that the person was a christian. The charter of seventeen. No one is going to help in. Its goal of relieving much of the tension that had developed over the prior fifteen years the lower counties now had their own assembly and we're no longer subject to the whims of the philadelphia quakers. The council had been relieved of its power they legislative body which would help reduce the factionalism between the quakers. The new charter was in the eyes of the assembly improvement upon the prior systems and it was quickly adopted. Problems did of course still remain and will continue to be source of infighting within the colony the assembly would still clash with pen moving forward however the frame of seventeen. A one brought much needed clarity to the political situation inside of pennsylvania at a time when the connie desperately needed it the charter would likewise really bolster the power of the assembly. Yes penn still held a veto as to the privy council back in london however the assembly and therefore the people had a surprisingly large amount of power and self-determination. The charter was so broad in the powers given to the assembly that it encroached on the powers of the proprietor himself. This control came primarily in the way of economics with all of its new powers. It was the assembly that was still in charge of providing the funding being able to propose an pass legislation as well as authorized funding single-chamber legislature provided the pennsylvania assembly with a tremendous amount of control empower shirt. Penn had that veto power however with the assembly having power over both legislation and funding. It was a veto power that the executive was going to need to use very carefully.

The Big Story
Opposition MPs turn to ethics committee to probe SNC-Lavalin affair
"Canadians will have yet another chance to possibly hear the full story behind the scandal. That has completely changed both the image. They have of their prime minister and the landscape of the coming election. So will they know probably not for a whole bunch of reasons. If you wanna know how things are really going in Ottawa these days track down your grade. Seven civics textbook. Flip it open to the section densely packed with the arcane rules of parliamentary procedure, and then realize that there are tens of millions of dollars worth of politicians, and lawyers and advisers and pundits. And editors all trying to decipher the implications of the same damn stuff that they ignored back in middle school. And most of them are screaming at each other while they do welcome to the SNC laflin scandal part. I don't know part thirty six the part where the opposition asks again, and the government refuses again, and we all wonder how the hell Canadians will actually get the answers they want. And as it turns out, there are a few ways that that could happen whether Justin Trudeau lakes or not. I'm Jordan heath Rawlings. And this is the big story for MAC mcsweeney is the parliament hill reporter for city news for Rogers radio for the big story too. I is it going it's going well, except that this is the scandal that won't go away. And something new is about to happen today. It's going on Tuesday in Ottawa. Well, the ethics committee is meeting this afternoon to discuss the SNC lavon affair. I it's the second committee. That's going to be taking a look at all of this. And the conservatives have put forward a motion to basically launch another investigation into this affair after the Justice committee probe was shut down by the liberal majority on the committee after hearing from several key witnesses in this controversy on budget day, the committee decided that they had heard enough that they didn't need to hear anymore. Testimony on the. This and they were going to move on without coming to any sort of final report. They just let sort of you know, these witnesses air their stories and left it at that. And so now, the opposition is pushing for more testimony more witnesses. They're also calling for the prime minister to further wave privilege in all of this. So that they can get the rest of the story if you will. And so that's what we're waiting on to see whether the liberal majority on this committee, and since they're majority government, they have a majority on these committees. Whether they will allow another investigation after shutting down the first one, why would I mean, not to be partisan or anything? But like if they shut it down on the last committee, what is going to change this time, Jordan, if you're betting man, the odds would be against the liberals actually allowing this investigation to go through. And if if they're lines from the last. Committee investigation, and the reasoning as to why they shut that down will be used in this one of then you can expect the liberals to just simply say, look we've heard everything we need to hear within Canadians can make up their own minds about what happened. It's time to move on the former attorney general had had the chance to fully tell her story on whether or not she was pressured into all of this. And and that's that. So I I just imagine that they won't, but we'll have to wait and see you can you can never fully predict something in politics. And this controversy is is is proof of that. Because I don't think last year at this time anybody could even have had the idea that we'd be in this situation right now discussing the liberals polling numbers dropping the conservatives. Well, ahead of the liberals over a controversy that you know, had pitted. He liberal cabinet ministers against the prime minister's office. I I don't. Anybody could have predicted something like this. So where we go from here who really knows. The odds are against the fact that the liberals would would agree to this ethics investigation. What does a committee investigation typically, look like any way, and how typical or atypical was the Justice committee when they often are related to public policy issues and not sort of surrounded by controversies like we're seeing here. So it is unusual in that sense where it's not a common occurrence where we're having these major scandals that committees are investigating, but the committees are an avenue for parliamentarians to investigate things like this, especially when there are serious allegations, such as what we have here that the prime minister's office was putting improper pressure on the attorney general to make specific decision in a case that was before the AG the allegations are serious, and where you fall on after the testimony. I mean, I guess. It all depends on who you believe in the end, but they're serious enough allegations at I think, it was appropriate and even the liberals agreed that it was appropriate that the Justice committee look at this topic. So the Justice committee investigation was ended and the liberal said at that point, the essentially there were no stories left to tell the conservatives wanted ethics investigation because they say, there are still stories left to tell what don't we know because I know Jodie Wilson rebel and Jane Philpott have both spoken about this. But the conservatives want them to talk about other aspects of the affair the ordering council that was given by the prime minister to waive solicitor, client privilege and cabinet confidence to allow Jodie Wilson Ray bold and others involved in the allegations of improper pressure to freely speak about all of this that only applies for the time that Jodie Wilson rave old was attorney general so in relation to the SNC case one. She left and was shuffled out of the Justice. File she basically couldn't talk about what happened when she moved veterans affairs and on that shuffle day. That's where the story ends both Jodie Wilson Ray, bold. And Jane Philpott another minister, she was treasury board. President does she was involved in that shuffle decided to quit cabinet because she had lost confidence in the government's handling of the essence affair, but both Jane Philpott and Jodie Wilson. Ray bowled say that there is more to the story and Philpott spoke recently with mcclain's last week saying there is much more to this that needs to be told and because the order in council that granted the waving of all the privilege only ends when Jodie Wilson. Ray gold's left the attorney general's position. There are still questions about what happened after that. What was said after that in conversations with the prime minister between a Wilson Ray Gould's. And Justin Trudeau or others in his office such as Gerald butts, his former principal adviser because there were questions about that Jodie Wilson rebel did say that she thought that she was being pushed out of the position because of the SNC decision all conversations that happened after she left that position. She can't talk about. And so that's the big question. Mark over this. What else is there to say? And we still don't know the only way we will find out is if we hear from Jodi Wilson rebelled or Jane Philpott if she decides to talk about this. And you know, the question now is will we hear from them? And what will we hear from them if they decide to speak out in any form, how could they do guys? So there are many different ways that they could we could have another ordering council from the prime minister's office that extends the waving of privilege to go beyond. Johnny Wilson Ray Boltz time as attorney general. So if the prime minister. Decides to do that you know that would give her the free and clear because as a lawyer as attorney general to Canada, you're essentially, the government's lawyer and solicitor client privilege means that discussions around things that are not allowed to be made public a campy made public on unless you get you know, the permission of your client, which in this case would be the government and the prime minister. So if he decided to do that that would give Jodie Wilson Ray bowled, the the chance to speak possibly Jane Philpott, as well, what are the chances that that happens given that they shut down the Justice committee investigation, while the prime minister's already indicated that he doesn't think that there needs to be a further waving of privilege. He hasn't said in those exact terms, I don't believe. But when asked about this several times over the last couple of weeks about further, waving privilege. He has come back to the fact that he believes that the former attorney general Jodie Wilson rebelled was able to address all of the. The issues on the question at hand. Which is was there. Improper pressure on the over the essence he case he feels that the initial waving of privilege answered that question or allowed her to tell her full story on that question. She says there's more to the story. But he he believes that enough has come out already. He's satisfied with what he's heard. And he says Canadians have heard enough to make a determination about whether or not. There was any improper pressure in this case. So does she have any other options than if she wanted to get her truth out? This is interesting because recently there have been more and more calls about what is known as parliamentary privilege, and this is the idea that you can say anything you want in the house of Commons as an MP, and you are not going to be held responsible in any legal way for what you say in the house of Commons. I mean, you could get kicked out of the house of Commons, but you can say almost anything. And you know, they're they're free from defamation. Lawsuits are free from any kind of legal consequences for what they say in the house of Commons. So with that being said the question has been raised recently by a number of liberal MP's who seem to be getting frustrated with this whole scandal saying, well, why don't they just stand in the house and say what they have to say if this is so important to the national conversation about SNC laflin and the functioning of our government than just get out with it. Stand up in the house and say something, but there are limitations to that. It's not as simple as that. When you get up to in the house of Commons. The there's a procedure here, and you have to follow that procedure. Otherwise, you won't be recognized by the speaker, and you can't get up and speak. It's not a free for all. So as much as parliamentary privilege trumps all other privileges, meaning that solicitor, client privilege and cabinet confidence. Don't apply when it comes to parliamentary privilege and speaking in the house of Commons. They can only speak at certain times. So they. Could speak either Philpott or Jodie Wilson Ray bowled, but let's focus on Wilson rebelled since she's the person at the center of ultras. She could give a member statement every day before question period. Members have a chance to stand up and give what's called an SO thirty one standing thirty one. Which means they have about a minute to say, whatever the heck they want a minute is not along though. I think she spent around four hours testifying so run minute is really not a lot of time to get to the heart of the matter. Another thing she could do is stand up in the house of Commons and raise a point of personal privilege. This goes back to the argument that if it is so important to the nation and given the allegations that the AG felt improper pressure standing up in the house of Commons on a point of privilege could be a very valid point to make and she would have more time to speak at a point of personal privilege, if she felt her privileges were, you know, breached in some way through this scandal, which seems to be what she has. Been talking about since the start since these allegations came out, so she could do that. But even then the speaker doesn't always let you just go on and on for four hours the other the other option that I just want to squeeze in here, the one that that could give them a little bit more time to speak, but it might take some participation of the opposition members. Which would just make things really weird and awkward considering these two members are still members of the liberal party. But if there is a motion, a when you speak in the house of Commons, it has to be relevant to what is at hand. So, you know, if you raise a point of personal privilege, what follows has to be related to that point. If there's a motion from the opposition. And there have been a couple of motions already so they had the option to potentially speak. If there's a motion before the house of Commons. They could get up and speak to that any MP really has a right to get up and speak to emotion that is before the house as a part of normal debate. And then they take questions from the other parties about. What they had just said in their statement. They're limited on time with that though, they could get, you know, consent to continue on speaking and opposition MP's could also share their time. So if they decided to speak, then maybe a conservative MP would say, you know, what I'm going to hand my time over to Jodie Wilson rebelled to allow her to have. Yeah. Keep going keep going. So that's one thing that could happen. But that takes some agreement behind the scenes, and it would be rather unusual for an MP of the sitting governing party to strike some sort of deal with position MP's to have more time to speak in that scenario on the the final one that could be, but is unlikely as unanimous consent to make a statement in the house of Commons, three unanimous, consent and peace can do almost anything. They want in the house of Commons. If all MP's agree then anything's possible. So if Wilson Rabaul says, I have a statement. Wanna make it in the house of Commons. I'm seeking unanimous consent to give that statement at whatever time if every single party an MP agrees. Nobody objects when that motion is put forward to the speaker. Then they could do that. We'll have to wait and see whether they try to take advantage of that. Because you know, there are other avenues that they could take. In the meantime, to to try and get their story out with so many avenues. And so many people kind of calling from his Wilson Ray bowl to to speak to what she says is still left to be told. It seems strange to me. And please correct me if I'm wrong that the prime minister is willing to let this be dragged out so much as opposed to realizing that it's probably going to be addressed anyway and an opening up a a way for her to talk does that I am I way off base here. Does that not seem strange to anybody else auto from the early stages of this controversy? There have been a lot of criticisms from pundits. And political experts. About the way the Trudeau government has handled. This the conservatives argue that the liberal story keeps changing every day. I I don't think that's fair because I think it's not that it's changed. It's just that. They only allowed little bits to come out. Yeah. In dribs and drabs, and that kind of helps keep this thing going and a lot of people were confused about why they chose that strategy rather than just the rip the band aid off strategy. Get it out there get it out all on the table. You've got months to go before an election. You can deal with the damage early on let some heads roll. And for people who might be responsible. If there's if there was any wrongdoing and then just move on. Because that's the, you know, as some political experts have said, that's the way you deal with a controversy like this in politics. There have been some questions about the handling of this from the Trudeau government, and whether they they handle this properly. The at all. But now we're in a in a situation where it seems like every few days or at least once a week. We've got a new thing coming out last week before the budget. It seemed like the Trudeau government was trying to put this to bed. We saw the clerk of the Privy Council resign on the Monday. The prime minister announced that he was going to appoint a new adviser to advise the government, and and released recommendations on how they can change the relationship between the government and the attorney general, which you know, the big question there is do you split Justice minister role and attorney general role. And then the budget was the day that the Justice committee ended the investigation into the SNCF air. We we've now found out that the the prime minister spoke with Jodie Wilson Ray bowled on the Monday about the next steps, and he called it a cordial conversation. So one assumes that he was giving her the heads up about the actions that were were happening. On the Monday and Tuesday. But then by the Friday, Jodie Wilson Rabo publicly announced that she's going to be giving a written submission to the Justice committee complete with text messages and emails which she had promised to produce. But also some new evidence in her possession. So whenever she decides to submit that written submission. It's going to put this story back in the headlines, and we're gonna be talking about it yet. Again, not only that but the opposition has done its work to try and keep the story in the headlines disrupting the budget by delaying the speech, and then when Finance Minister Bill more, no spoke, they banged their desks and drowned him out than staged a walkout on break weeks when it was feared that the liberals might get a little bit of a break from coverage. That's when all these emergency committee meetings are happening, including the ethics committee meeting that we're talking about. So the opposition has been doing its work to try and keep this in the headlines despite some criticisms that they. Of they went to extreme too fast with the calling of the resignation of the prime minister that they kind didn't have anywhere else to go. The they promised us every tool in the toolbox. And it seems like they're they're continuing to do that. And look we're talking about it. So I guess if that's their goal to keep us talking about it. Then they're achieving that goal despite whether it was the best way or not politically speaking, of course. Oh god. I means we're gonna talk about this till October doesn't chrome. Yeah. I fully expect, you know, there are questions about whether there's going to be an early campaign call from the prime minister, and that we'd be heading to the polls this spring, not the fall, which doesn't fully make sense in in the basic way that the band aid off a. Yeah, it just doesn't make you know, you look at the facts, the liberals are pulling at their lowest point, I think in Justin Trudeau's mandate, so far you've got months to go to repair the damage, including the summer vacation where a lot of Canadians just tune out of the news. And then tune back in the fall where you can kind of reset the narrative again, you know, there there are those options out there for the prime minister. So an early election, call would seem odd, but the conservatives are pouncing on on that speculation and trying to fundraise off of it saying we need money now there could be an early election. So the opposition parties are are enjoying this because they got the fundraise off of it. But you know, the prime minister's office has been clear has been asked many many times over. The last year. Will there be an early election? They've never wavered from the fact that they said that they're going to stick with the fixed election date that prime minister Stephen Harper had put in place of October. Although that's not technically binding, you can break it. And I think Harper did as well. So it's not technically binding, but Justin Trudeau promised in October vote. And I think this is going to be one of those issues that the opposition continues to hammer on the campaign trail so to answer your question. Yeah. I think we will still be talking about this in October, regardless of what the election results will be last question are these stories from MS Wilson, Rabo them as Philpott going to come out some way like it seems inevitable now to me and my wrong about that. What's your thought? Here's the issue. Both Wilson Ray bold. And Jane Philpott have said that they have their concerns in. They're very cautious about the issues of solicitor, client privilege and cabinet confidentiality. Now, we spoke earlier. Earlier about how they could get up in the house, and they could say anything they want in the house of Commons and be protected from any legal consequences when they speak in the house because they enjoy parliamentary privilege, which allows which trumps all other privileges, and confidences, etc. So they could do that. But there hasn't to do something like that Jane Philpott in her interview with mcclain's was asked. Why don't you just do that as she said? Part of the issue is is timing. Of course, an and we went through that pretty clearly that there are limitations on how long they can speak in. If they've got another four hours worth of testimony. It's not going to be easy to use the house of Commons as the avenue to get that story out so Philpott aside from timing Philpott also gave a very interesting answer about the dynamic in liberal caucus and her relationship with colleagues, which I think is another aspect to all of this is really focused on it was fascinating to hear. Because you don't always hear that. She was talking about how a lot of her colleagues. Again, she is still a liberal MP. And the prime minister has given no indication that he plans to boot either Philpott or Wilson Ray bolt from his caucus Philpott has said that her actions and her decision to quit cabinet has created a lot of uneasiness amongst people who used to be closer colleagues in caucus, and she feels that some feel that her motives are not that that she's doing something that sort of works against the party, and that's creating friction with people. She never used to have friction with. And so she opened up a little bit about the personal struggles that she has in doing what she's doing. But says she's trying to you know, do what she's always done in. That is a take a moral stand. She doesn't care about what happens to her as a result of that. But clearly those personal relationships are taking toll for Jody Wilson Ray bowl. You know, you have not only cabinet confidence as as a concern out of all of this. But you also have. Hitter client privilege, and so there's some caution there because they don't want to break this oath that they made to the country so lightly just because people are saying we'll just get out and say it in the house of Commons. There's a very serious oath that you take when you join cabinet where you agree to serve her majesty the Queen and to keep all of the secrets that are held as a privy counsellor it to keep those secret essentially os are not usually easily broken by people who take those oaths they feel passionately about what they do regardless of political stripe. So that's something else. It sort of weighing over both Jodie Wilson Ray bold and Jane Philpott about whether they just get out there and tell their story, despite the fact that there's personal privilege whether or not we got the full story out of this. You know, there are avenues for both the Trudeau government and for Jody Wilson Rabo than Jane Philpott to make the decision to get that full story out. Whether they take those those avenues is another question altogether. And we'll just have to wait and see.
The Big Story
Jody Wilson-Raybould: The woman in the eye of the storm
"Wilson abled you've heard her name in the news for going on a month. Now, she's the woman at the center of the biggest political scandal to hit Canada, and a very long time the Trudeau government fighting itself in crisis mode over this SNC lavaman scandal. Bombshell testimony on Wednesday from Canada's former attorney general Jodie Wilson rebelled hers. The name prime minister Justin Trudeau will never ever forget the right. Honorable Jodie Wilson rebel testified. The would not bend to what she considered inappropriate pressure on the part of his office to interfere in the essence Alaba in case and the she was alternately penalized for it. The prime minister asked me to help out to find a solution here for us NC in response. I explained to him the law, but Jodie Wilson. Ray bold is also a person an indigenous lawyer with a whole life and distinguished career prior to these headlines liberal MP for Vancouver. Granville, feels it all that pressure back when she was still the first indigenous woman to become attorney general a star member of Trudeau's. Gender-balanced cabinet before being shuffled to better affairs as a result. She believes a standing her ground defending the rule of law Canadians of mostly lauded Wilson rebelled for quote, speaking her truth to power that doesn't mean she hasn't been subject to racism and sexism allegedly from even within her own party. Why versus all coming from? And what does this kind of treatment say about the liberal party or more broadly, Canadian politics? I'm Sarah, VO spelled infrastructure and heath Rawlings as we Mark International Women's Day this week. This is the big story. To walk us through Wilson rebelled is how she's been treated and the significance of how she's been treated. We welcome globe in mail columnist Elizabeth frenzy to the big story podcast. Hey, liz. Hi, sarah. Thanks for coming on happy to be. We'll tell me a little about about what you know about Wilson rebelled. She, you know, she's a big deal and Trudeau's gender-balanced cabinet no longer in cabinet, but what's hers sort of Baxter. Started get here to begin with, you know, about well, she was the first indigenous woman to be Justice minister and attorney general. And then of course, she was and she was a lawyer quite celebrated lawyer in British Columbia and indigenous woman as well. And she, of course, famously was demoted from her position of Justice minister and attorney general into veterans affairs Menton widely considered to be a demotion. Although, of course, veterans affairs is really important portfolio. But then we what happened after that is what sort of I think she was fairly well known to the public eye because of high profile legal and Justice issues on the federal landscape like cannabis legalization the right to die legislation and things like that. So she'd always been quite how high profile, but this particular scandal around SNC level has really put her profile in her just in the stratosphere. Yeah. I of the storm really I have the store. Yeah. So and I really last week felt like the day that she testified, you know, she's sitting for hours in front of the Justice committee in your watching. How did you feel? Yeah. It was quite extraordinary felt like, you know, one of those moments where the entire country stopped oddly, everyone, I knew had stopped and was sitting somewhere watching this. And it, of course, happened on the same day that Michael Cohen Trump's former lawyer was testifying. Before congress in the United States, and that was a much more combative and kind of fiery weird mail boisterous. Angry confrontation. And then there came Jodie Wilson Ray bold and sat down with no one sitting beside her and her, I guess possibly assistance behind her and in front of what is I'm sure the most packed Justice committee. There has ever been sure there are people lined up outside and she testified in the most extraordinary way. Like, just very calm. Very methodical. Very meticulous. Never sort of giving away any like sense that she felt you know, angry or anything like that. It was just very calm. She laid out what had happened to her. And I think for most people more persuasive for the kind of calmness with which she laid out her as she said her truth. Yeah. And let's talk about that, you know, really did land. Well with a lot of. Canadians. And and I think she speaks her truth was the headline Tronto star the next day. You know, what do you read into that positive response to to the way that she testified? Did she have to do that in order to be credible to be listened to to be heard? Well, we'd had a vacuum around this right for round this issue for the longest time, the prime minister would say a couple of little things. And then there was you know, people briefing off the record and things and you'd get those versions in the news. But there was never there was no kind of their their until she spoke. There was no central narrative until she spoke about what had happened during this. We'd had my Gornik the chief of the Clark with a Privy Council speaking, but apart from that sort of none of the central players had spoken. And so I think there was a real hunger to have some kind of sense of instead of innuendo and slur. And background noise. Actually have somebody lay down what they saw to be the kind of accurate series of events, according to their point of view, which is what she did. Yeah. And she had the receipts. Right. She had only had the receipts. She she spills the tea. Yeah. She. Did she had it seemed to me very loyally? You know, she laid things out methodically. She had clearly kept contemporaneous notes. She had emails and texts and things like that. And never in the almost I think it was four hours of testimony. Did she divert from this narrative of this is what happened to me? And this is how I felt and she didn't use hyperbolic language or anything. But it was all the more powerful for that. For her just using little tiny. Phrases like veiled threats, and then she made, you know, a reference to Richard Nixon and the Saturday night massacre. You know in which he he needed to get people to do his dastardly bidding and went down the list in the department of Justice until he found somebody who would. So these things I think were because she spoke so carefully, and so directly it had a real impact, and there was no hyperbole. There was no kind of you out when he was testifying was much more passionate and emboldened and kind of forceful threats to democracy, and you know, somebody's gonna get killed. There's crazy culture of or or or aura of of partisanship in violence in the in the air, which I think is probably you know, I think is there is there's some act today. Yeah. For sure, but her testimony was so different. And so much more powerful for it. Yes. That's her position in all this scandal and controversy, but do you what do you sort of see when you put a gender lens on that? As a woman having to be believed. Incredible. I think we've seen lots of obviously way different context. But, you know, lots of testimonies from women who are needing to be have their side of the version of things hurt. And and a lot of ways there. It doesn't get the weight that I think you have Christine Blasi. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm Christine Blasi Ford who still has not been able as far as I know to move back into her house and is still suffering death threats. Now has to have, you know, people around her bodyguards and things and so just to be clear. She was the the woman who said that as a teen she was sexually assaulted by Brad Cavanaugh who is now on the supreme court bench in the United States. Yes. Exactly. So we do kind of I think for better or worse. Partly because there are so few women in these very high positions of power. So when they do come forward to testify for better or worse. They do kind of, you know, the intensity of our gazes upon them because they are few and far between, and I don't I don't think you can separate that four Jodie Wilson Rabaul because I don't know if you know this, but Justin Trudeau as a feminist is. Yeah, it's true. I know I thought I should be the first one and. And he had a gender-balanced cabinet twenty. She was a major star player. Exactly. She was a a major star player. So I think what's happened is as I wrote in a column at the time live by the effort die by the effort. So he has made such he's really tied so much of his credibility. I think to this idea of gender Justice gender equity, the pushing of progressive feminist causes and a half to say in many ways, the government has been good. You know, there have been there has been terrific legislation in certain ways. But if you're going to present yourself as being pure than pure and more pristine than pristine than anytime, you are seeing to step outside that boundary anytime, you are perhaps seeing to be treating a senior female member of your cabinet in a way that is not necessarily progressive or perhaps there are other members of your caucus who are briefing against her or are saying things about her. That frankly, smack of sexism even off the record, then that's gonna look really bad. And I think that's what we saw here. And also there have been reports of some really racist and sexist language used against her, you know, within the government, but also out in the world. What have you sort of seen or heard about that? Oh, yeah. There's been all kinds of things, and we had a couple of liberal male liberal backbenchers say things about her along the lines of you know, she couldn't handle the stress or she wasn't a team player. One said that her father was perhaps pulling her strings, which is just I know. Yeah. Later apologized for it. And he apologized in the house, which is good. But in a way, I actually find hearing those things oddly refreshing, because I know so many people actually think them and to congratulate about loud, like at least we get to see people truly feel and then it becomes obvious. And then we can. Deal with it. Right. And so now, you know, nobody I was actually quite surprised that we did hear things along those lines. What we've heard also an again, this is more off the record stuff is you know, that she was difficult. Not a team player. Difficult can be code, right? Absolutely. No. There's no doubt about it whatsoever. There's all these coded words that are used for women, especially women in leadership roles, especially women in politics and unlikable is big one or likable be here with Hillary Clinton all the time. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Or Elizabeth Warren, or you know, any of the American politicians likeable team player, you know, cooperative. And it's it's interesting because traditionally what women are thought to bring to leadership tables, whether it's the boardroom or political leadership tables is the so-called soft skills. Right. Soft power. So that is empathy you know, team being a team player being able to work well with others collaboration. So I think any woman who then diverts from that script no matter in how small away is branded as perhaps even more harshly than than her male colleagues would be and he kept calling her Jodi in the early days. Right. It was like Jodi, you know, it's going to do this or that. And I'm like, she's a minister, right, right? Able to you. Yeah. Right honourable. Yeah. Exactly. I'm, but, but you know, what do you see is really hypocritical on his part, then you know, you really outlined. Very well. You know, the the double standards, I think for a lot of women who are in powerful roles like Why's it as an especially bad problem for Justin Trudeau because he hasn't. This is bidden his entire brand. I so I interviewed last week I interviewed this famous American journalists in Toronto named Rebecca traced to American feminist journalist, and she was kind of golf smacked by the whole scandal. Because she said when you look from outside our country, what they know about Justin Trudeau is that he's a great feminist, and the you know that he pushes women's equality, and that has been the brand that they built from you know, from when the when he was in
