The important constitutional principles underscoring litigation and solicitor-client #privilege are trivialized and politicized by this charade of legal censorship. It's no longer credible for @Puglaas to blame her silence on @CanadianPM's refusal to waive faux privilege. 1/3
@BCLawSociety and the leading legal text confirms the obvious: “legal advice from a non-lawyer Attorney General is not encompassed by Solicitor-Client Privilege because a non-lawyer Attorney General does not qualify as a 'professional legal adviser” (@ADodek). #SNCLavalin 2/3
No litigation #privilege restricts @Puglaas re: #SNC prosecution because the privileged content was already disclosed by the 'client' (PM’s version of events). No solicitor client privilege applies because no solicitor in sight. So let the truth be spoken. 3/3
