OTTAWA—Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau denied wanting Jody Wilson−Raybould to lie as the SNC−Lavalin affair—which figured prominently in the last election—burst back onto the campaign trail Saturday with the publication of an excerpt of the former justice minister’s memoir.

The excerpt from the tell−all book “Indian in the Cabinet”—published in the Globe and Mail—came as the NDP revealed the cost of platform over the next five years, and police in London, Ont., charged a man in connection with a gravel throwing incident against Trudeau.
