OTTAWA — Former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould says she will run again for Parliament as an independent.

Wilson-Raybould is the independent MP for the B.C. riding of Vancouver Granville.

She was the justice minister in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet before she was shuffled to the portfolio of veterans affairs in January.

She later revealed she thought the decision to move her out of the justice role was motivated by her decision not to intervene in the criminal prosecution of the Quebec engineering giant, SNC-Lavalin.

In early April, she and fellow former minister Jane Philpott were ousted from the Liberal caucus.

Philpott is due to announce her own plans just after Wilson-Raybould.

More coming.
