Just when you thought it was over...

Get ready for a return appearance in the House of Commons hot seat, minister.

Jody Wilson-Raybould was undoubtedly hoping that, nearly two weeks after she took top billing at a $500-per-head party fundraiser hosted out of the Toronto offices of a prominent Canadian law firm, the controversy over her presence at the event was finally starting to die down.

Thanks to Conservative ethics critic Michael Cooper, the attorney general can expect at least one more day on the defensive.

On Tuesday, Cooper will put forward an opposition motion to have the House “urge” Wilson-Raybould to apologize for taking part in an event that the Conservatives contend appears to go against the ethical guidelines that the prime minister has imposed on his cabinet, and “return all funds collected during the event.”

And while it may be doomed to defeat, it’s not difficult to see how such a motion can serve the interests of the opposition parties.

Not only does it keep the original story alive — and quite possibly in the news cycle — for at least one more day, but it also forces the government to issue an all-hands call for MPs to put up during the day-long debate, each and every one of whom will have to be prepped in advance.

From the Liberal perspective, those designated speakers should also be ready to return fire. That means the caucus research bureau will have to hit the archives to dredge up the salacious details of any and all similar controversies that plagued the Tories during their tenure in power.

In fact, the Conservatives have attempted to pre-empt that strategy with a direct, if oblique, reference to the fracas that resulted from a 2014 fundraiser for thenheritage minister Shelly Glover — and notes that in that case, the party chose to return every cent.

Barring scheduling changes, the debate will begin just after 10 a.m. on Tuesday and continue throughout the day.

Here’s the full text, as it appears on the Notice Paper:

April 15, 2016 — Mr. Cooper (St. Albert—Edmonton) — That the House urge the Minister of Justice to:

(a) follow her government’s own guidelines for Ministers and Ministers of State as described in Annex B of Open and Accountable Government 2015, that “Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries must ensure that political fundraising activities or considerations do not affect, or appear to affect, the exercise of their official duties or the access of individuals or organizations to government”; that “There should be no preferential access to government, or appearance of preferential access, accorded to individuals or organizations because they have made financial contributions to politicians and political parties”; and that “There should be no singling out, or appearance of singling out, of individuals or organizations as targets of political fundraising because they have official dealings with Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries, or their staff or departments”;

( b) apologize for the fundraising event on behalf of the Liberal Party with one of the top law firms in Canada; and

(c) return all funds collected from the event, as was done in 2014 for the event involving the former Minister of Canadian Heritage.
