The reason is that the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> kept in a gag order for the period after he moved her out of the position of Attorney General. During that period, she witnessed events so egregious she thought it merited her resignation from cabinet altogether.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829655\" data-originallang=\"en\"> If the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> has nothing to hide, tomorrow morning he will show up at the justice committee and have his members vote in favour of letting her speak. Will he?</p>",

C'est parce que le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> lui a impos\u00e9 le silence apr\u00e8s l'avoir d\u00e9mise de ses fonctions de procureure g\u00e9n\u00e9rale. Pendant cette p\u00e9riode, elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 t\u00e9moin d'\u00e9v\u00e9nements tellement graves qu'elle a cru bon de d\u00e9missionner du Cabinet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5829655\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> n'a rien \u00e0 cacher, alors il compara\u00eetra devant le comit\u00e9 de la justice demain matin et laissera les membres de son parti voter pour qu'elle puisse parler.
