OTTAWA—A Liberal MP has joined opposition calls for an investigation into an allegation that former attorney general Jody Wilson−Raybould was pressured by the Prime Minister’s Office to help SNC−Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution.

New Brunswick MP Wayne Long says in a statement posted to social media that he was “extremely troubled” when the allegation surfaced last week and nothing he has heard since has made him feel less unsettled.
