Let me ask you about that. Let me come to that very issue.
A prominent lawyer from Toronto, Andrew Roman, has written in an influential blog the following, and I want to ask if you agree:
No one in government was permitted to give the Attorney General any instructions when she or the DPP were involved in a prosecution. As she could not have been under instructions from any client there cannot have been any solicitor-client relationship. And, obviously, as there was no solicitor-client relationship, there can be no solicitor-client privilege.
There was no valid reason for either the Prime Minister or his senior staff to have initiated such a conversation with Jody Wilson-Raybould. The only reason for either of them to discuss her prosecutorial decision would be to encourage her to change it, without being seen to do so. This is damaging to the rule of law.
Do you agree?
