A second Canadian cabinet minister resigned, saying she has lost confidence in the ruling Liberal Party over allegations it tried to interfere in the prosecution of a global company
A Canadian cabinet minister resigned Monday, saying she has lost confidence in the ruling Liberal Party over allegations it tried to interfere in a criminal prosecution of a global engineering and construction firm.
The surprise resignation—the second by a cabinet member in recent weeks—comes as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau deals with his biggest political scandal since assuming office in 2015—and as he faces a re-election test in October.
