Frank Iacobucci is one of the most influential lawyer-lobbyists in all of Canada. He has been at the crux of the nation’s political, legal, and business communities well before he retired his post as a Supreme Court Justice in 2004. Today he is a partner at Torys, Bay Street’s whitest-shoe law firm, and is the most statured attorney in the firm’s indigenous law practice.
Suddenly, this week, nearly everyone in Ottawa wants him to testify before the House of Commons’ justice committee regarding his involvement in the SNC Lavalin scandal, following widespread rumors that it was Iacobucci who first insisted that Jody Wilson Raybould be removed as Attorney General.
Iacobucci led SNC-Lavalin‘s efforts to secure a ‘Deferred Prosecution Agreement’ last summer and into the fall. He was instrumental in persuading Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to insert the new legal provision as a policy rider into last year’s budget bill, acting as SNC Lavalin’s in-house attorney.
Last August, Iacobucci ‘demanded’ a Deferred Prosecution Agreement for SNC Lavalin, even dictating to Finance Minister Bill Morneau the terms that his client ‘would accept’ from the Trudeau government. Sources close to Morneau say that’s a familiar posture for Iacobucci, who months earlier helped colleagues at Torys ‘bully’ Morneau into acquiring Kinder Morgan‘s Trans Mountain Pipeline in May — on terms that CEO Steve Kean would accept.
When Wilson-Raybould refused to offer his client the legal mechanism that he lobbied to invent, he was livid. Iacobucci regularly communicates with Morneau and the former Treasury Board President Scott Brison. He was not shy about articulating his displeasure with the Attorney General to either man.
The Clerk of the Privy Council, Michael Wernick, even complained to Wilson-Raybould that, ‘Iacobucci is not a shrinking violet’, to impress upon her the political pressures being exerted on Trudeau. Among Toronto-area political operatives, it’s been rumored that Iacobucci may be one of three men in possession of ’embarrassing information’ on Trudeau.
In October Trudeau asked Iacobucci to lead the government’s negotiations with indigenous communities in British Columbia, where consent is required to accommodate the pipeline. The government is not merely required to ‘consult’, because most of British Columbia’s indigenous people have not ceded their lands to Canada by Treaty or transaction.
A source close to the talks suspects that Trudeau had tasked Iacobucci with ‘essentially bribing’ every indigenous community along the pipeline’s route, in order to secure approvals as quickly as possible. The characterization of bribery, the source says, is based on Iacobucci’s posture of engagement with indigenous communities — not allowing for meaningful negotiations, and insisting that the federal government’s duty is satisfied by merely transferring funds to the affected communities, regardless of the outcome of discussions.
Iacobucci, who was already angry that Wilson-Raybould was refusing to allow his client to negotiate a deferred prosecution agreement, feared that his consultations in British Columbia could be construed as improper. He would only agree to take the role on the condition that Trudeau would replace her with a ‘more doting’ Member of Parliament.
Executives at SNC Lavalin have long expected that they will be awarded the construction contract on the multi-billion dollar infrastructure project, and the firm has been advocating aggressively for it in Ottawa. The firm has also been engaging with key influencers in British Columbia.
Iacobucci is a trusted confidant of Canada’s ruling Liberal Party establishment and has received high-profile appointments by federal and provincial Liberal governments.
Iacobucci sits on the Board of Directors of Torstar, the company that publishes The Toronto Star, The Hamilton Spectator, GTA Today, The Niagara Review, iPolitics, and a series of smaller newspapers. He formerly served as Chairman. The Toronto Star, in particular, has earned a reputation for left-leaning opinion pages and reliably favorable coverage of Liberal politicians.
SNC Lavalin’s government relations efforts have been robust. The firm has lobbied dozens of officials in the Trudeau government — and continues to be in frequent and regular communication with senior figures in the PMO and ministerial staff, including Mathieu Bouchard, Elder Marques, and Ben Chin.
Indigenous leaders have been calling on Iacobucci to resign his role with the Trans Mountain Pipeline and to ‘fully disclose’ his list of clients and political activities.
The Chronicle was unable to find Iacobucci’s registration in LobbyCanada.
SNC Lavalin has disclosed the following ‘in house’ contacts made with Trudeau officials since September 2016 (Iacobucci was working as an ‘in house’ attorney). In addition, the firm has hired third-party consultants to lobby the government simultaneously.

Wow! As a Canadian personkind, I’m embarrased to say, I haven’t seen ANYTHING this good in any of our generally pathetic #JustinJourno #BoughtMedia Canadian LSM.
I mean, you don’t expect nything meaningful in the Red Star or the CBC of course, but still…
Loved the LavScam list of lobbying at the end of the article showing the Laurentian Elite self-fellating, Former Supreme, and #NoShrinkingViolet Wacobucci makes an excellent pimp for this.
Agreed: a remarkably insightful piece that should have been authored by someone in our country (Canada). Thank you!
I am sure that someone from Canada did write it. Wonder why published in US, risk of attack by someone for libel?
No media has discussed Gywn Morgan. In the Scandal he was the Director in 2011 when all the law breaking occured. He was also best friend of PM Harper. Just a farm boy from Alberta but still a kingpin. Please if you write a story about this in the US at least do some research. The minute the story broke Morgan resigned and isn’t mentioned anywhere as architect of the whole Libyan mess.
Nice try at deflection, LIEBrawl
Very interesting piece. Why is there no byline? Who wrote it? It is hard to tell if this is credible without seeing what else the author has written.
perhaps Iacobucci ,Trudeau, Butts and Wernick can all share a cell together. would be fun to see a former SC judge get jailed.
SNC-Lavalin wants to build the Kinder Morgan pipeline to secure an energy supply chain to India for the sake of the Commonwealth. India is too dependent on OPEC and this puts all of Southeast Asia at risk of communism or something. This holy mission from the Queen justifies the federal government’s purchase of the pipeline, which SNC-Lavalin lobbyists negotiated with the assistance of diplomats. The DPA agreement is absolutely necessary now, because SNC-Lavalin needs to be eligible to accept federal contracts to build it. And there’s nobody else. They are the ones with the expertise in First Nations bribing, they’re already hard at work on that (thanks Frank). India thinks KM is dying in the courts so shit all over Trudeau during his trip, which seemed decadent and clueless to the BJP.
Jody Wilson-Raybould has no idea any of this is happening when she independently decides there’s no way they are getting a DPA. But everyone assumes that native bitch from BC is pulling the “NO PIPELINES ON STOLEN NATIVE LAND” routine that party elders predicted was all she was good for. Everyone begs her to reconsider but can’t really explain why it’s so important. Scott Brison decides this house of cards is not worth the risk to his post-political career and gets the fuck out of there when he smells smoke coming from the Attorney General’s office. David Lametti is shuffled into the job because as parliamentary secretary to Freeland and Bains he’s in the know on pipeline Plan B. Trudeau threatens Wilson-Raybould with Aboriginal Affairs because he wants to know if this refusal to defer prosecution was a power grab, he’s making a joke that everything is Indian Affairs to her anyway, and he is anticipating that ruthless and unapologetic as she is, she will take it to further her agenda, even if he means it as an insult. He is shocked when she doesn’t, and they improvise with Veteran Services which they are doubly shocked she accepts. She is clueless and stubborn, not sabotaging the pipeline. O’Reagan to Aboriginal Affairs is her punishment for not playing along. It’s imposed collectively because all natives share the blame apparently.
It’s Jane Philpott to Treasury Board that ruins everything for Trudeau. What a blind spot he has for women. She gets the briefing on the KM pipeline 2.0 shit parade that Brison got that sent him packing, and she realizes this is why Jody Wilson-Raybould has lost her job, they
misread her intentions, they didn’t think she was being legalistic, they thought she was knowingly sabotaging Trudeau’s agenda for personal reasons. She got in the way of the pipeline. Philpott tells her what is going on. Wilson-Raybould, finally given a glimpse of the depth of the pit she is in, makes an escape plan and executes it. Philpott realizes that she was exposed on this leak, and her career in politics is over because she is going to be blamed for the Globe and Mail leak as well, so she resigns without regrets. That’s why JWR is staying gagged on what happened while she was at Veterans Affairs. That’s why the ethics commissioner got too sick to investigate. That’s why the PMO can’t make any sense of what is going on and why the PM won’t explain anything. It’s a conspiracy!
Anonymous, that explains why there was no negotiating on the cost of the old and new KM pipeline, more than 11 billion was given to KM for the purchase. The whore media don’t report fact. It certainly clarifies why Iacobucci is busy giving away money in BC. If we could only clean out the collectivists and leave gov’t to just police, law courts and soldiers, the world would be a better place, Thanks for the hypothesis, it’s revealing.
Anonymous… All you need to do now is reveal SNC-LAVALIN’s Role in The Mayerthorpe Massacre re: Northern Gateway Pipeline And you’ll be on your way to A Pulitzer.
“Among Toronto-area political operatives, it’s been rumored that Iacobucci may be one of three men in possession of ’embarrassing information’ on Trudeau.”
I have heard from someone I consider to be very reliable that Trudeau had an affair with one of his students when he was teaching in Vancouver.
The parents didn’t want a public scandal. The school gave Trudeau the option of resigning or having a hearing, he chose to resign from teaching.
I wonder if this is the embarrassing information?
Trudeau (the groper) is so narcissistic that I wouldn’t be surprised.
“It’s Jane Philpott to Treasury Board that ruins everything for Trudeau. What a blind spot he has for women. She gets the briefing on the KM pipeline 2.0 shit parade that Brison got that sent him packing”
Yes- also consider she may have had talks with those who worked with Brison.
I don’t believe SNC has a special interest in supplying India with oil.
Instead, consider that Trudeau wanted the pipeline- which could only be build if Quebec’s SNC got to build it.
So was the delay in approving the pipeline fabricated to wait until SNC’s DPA was cleared so they could subsequently qualify to “win” the contract to build the KM pipeline?
“British Columbia’s indigenous people have never ceded their lands to Canada by Treaty or transaction. ”
So I would presume the BC North American Tribal People have signed documentation from the people they took the lands from?? NO??? OHHH, you mean they STOLE It???
“British Columbia’s indigenous people have never ceded their lands to Canada by Treaty or transaction. ”
This is bullshit. The northeast corner of BC is ceded treaty land, Treaty 8 to be specific. Much of southern Vancouver Island is also ceded treaty land (Douglas Treaty).
Neither the Crown or the Natives want the treaties to be valid for various reasons, but the courts consistently uphold their validity. The pipelines will pass mostly through non-treaty land, sure, but the treaties do exist.
Makes me wonder what else is bullshit in this story.
I guess it would sound like bullshit when you only quote PART of the sentence ,,..why are you trying to mislead people?
Makes me think this story is right on point.
When Michael Wernick spoke about a real fear of somebody getting killed during the next federal election was he hinting that the liberal party is capable of this? Also Scott Brison sure has cum on his face.
