The order relates to any information or communications that have to do
with Wilson-Raybould’s time as the attorney general and exercising her
authority under the Director of Public Prosecutions Act, and only in
regards to the two ongoing probes of the matter, and not a blanket
permission for Wilson-Raybould to speak.

As well, the order states that Director of Public Prosecutions Kathleen
Roussel is exempted from this waiving of privilege and any information
or conversations between Wilson-Raybould and Roussel cannot be
disclosed, “in order to uphold the integrity of any criminal or civil
proceedings,” the prime minister’s office states in the Order in
Council.
