It's not only civilians calling on Trudeau to resign amidst the controversy. His opposition has as well. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer also said on Wednesday, February 27, that the prime minister must resign due to the SNC-Lavalin scandal in an official statement.
@justinpjtrudeauWilson-Raybould revealed her opinion during a Commons' justice committee meeting on Wednesday and said that she did feel pressured by Trudeau and other Liberal government officials to prevent criminal prosecution in the SNC-Lavalin case, according to Global News.
She said she received "veiled threats" from civil servant Privy Council clerk Michael Wernick, which she said were inappropriate, but she did not consider illegal, Global News reports.
