Shortly after Cabinet minister and Liberal MP Jane Philpott resigned from her post, Finance Minister Bill Morneau commented on her resignation.

"Jane Philpott is a close personal friend of Jody Wilson-Raybould. She took a decision, I respect her decision. She was a good colleague, and she’ll take the decision that makes the most sense to her," said Morneau.

Philpott released her resignation letter on Monday where she expressed her principled reasons for leaving the Liberal cabinet.

"I have been considering the events that have shaken the federal  government in recent weeks and after serious reflection, I have  concluded that I must resign as a member of Cabinet,” she said in a statement.
