OTTAWA, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- Jody Wilson-Raybould, minister of veterans affairs of Canada, resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet on Tuesday, she said in her Twitter post.
"With a heavy heart I have submitted my letter of resignation to the Prime Minister as a member of Cabinet," Wilson-Raybould said.
Her resignation came amid ongoing parliamentary investigation into whether Trudeau or anyone in his office tried to have Wilson-Raybould abandon the prosecution of a case against SNC-Lavalin when she was justice minister and attorney general.
