Updated 2026-08-18

Jody Wilson-Raybould, also known by her initials JWR and by her Kwak’wala name Puglaas, is an Indigenous Canadian lawyer, author, and former politician who was Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada from 2015 to 2019. First elected in the 2015 election as the member of Parliament (MP) for Vancouver Granville with the Liberal Party, Wilson-Raybould was re-elected as an independent in the 2019 election. As Attorney General, Wilson-Raybould refused to offer a deffered prosecution agreement to SNC-Lavalin after being pressured to do so by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. She briefly served as Minister of Veterans Affairs in 2019, before she resigned from Cabinet and was removed from the Liberal caucus amid the SNC-Lavalin affair.
