OTTAWA—Former cabinet minister Jody Wilson-Raybould says she’s still talking to her lawyer about what she can and can’t say publicly about allegations she was pressured to avert a criminal trial for Quebec engineering giant SNC-Lavalin.

Wilson-Raybould made the remarks on Feb. 19 as she exited the suite of offices in Parliament’s West Block that hold both the cabinet room and the Prime Minister’s Office, just as a cabinet meeting was breaking for the day.
