A second member of Trudeau's Cabinet resigned Monday over a scandal that has shaken the Canadian government in an election year.
Wilson-Raybould resigned from Cabinet last month after being demoted to veteran affairs minister weeks earlier.
Philpott, a physician, is a former minister of health and minister of indigenous services and was widely viewed as of one of Trudeau's most competent Cabinet ministers. Trudeau told a Liberal Party rally in Toronto that he was disappointed but understood why Philpott had left.
