Ontario Liberal MPs\u00a0have called a special meeting for 12:30 p.m. ET today as\u00a0pressure mounts to kick Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott out of the caucus.<\/p>\n

It’s not yet clear when the full caucus will meet to determine the fate of the two former cabinet ministers.<\/p>\n

Several Liberals have publicly condemned\u00a0Wilson-Raybould\u00a0for secretly taping a Dec. 19 conversation with Privy Council clerk Michael Wernick.<\/p>\n

The 17-minute audiotape was submitted as evidence to the Commons justice committee Friday.<\/p>\n

Wilson-Raybould said late Monday that she wants to remain in the caucus and sees no reason she should be expelled.<\/p>\n

“I do not believe that I should be removed from caucus for doing my job and for doing what I believe is right,” she told reporters as she left the House of Commons.<\/p>\n

Government House Leader Bardish Chagger\u00a0did not predict how the full caucus will decide.<\/p>\n

“The team will have conversations and we’ll find a way forward,” she said on her way in to a cabinet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
