Bloc, NDP join Conservative call for Trudeau to testify on WE Charity contract

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.More opposition parties are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to testify at the House of Commons finance committee over the cancelled WE Charity contract to administer a new program that would pay students for volunteer work.

“We share the desire of the Conservatives to know more about this situation, through an invitation to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance to a committee, or some committees,” Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet said Tuesday on Parliament Hill.“If they haven’t broken the law then they just have to prove it,” he said.

“The Commons could then consider a motion requesting that Trudeau appear. If the motion is approved, but Trudeau still refuses, the House could then discipline or censure him,” Prof. Lagassé said. “This might take the form of finding him in contempt of Parliament or summoning him to the bar of the House to be questioned or otherwise reprimanded.

“This is an important moment to refocus on the original goal of this program: supporting Canada’s students. We cannot let their needs be lost amid partisan grandstanding,” Green Party interim leader Jo-Ann Roberts said in a statement.

acoyne Blocked by Blanchet,his weakness is that he is vain,cannot take criticism. Mind you it’s an honour to be blocked by a seperitist.I am from Alberta and he has to go alongwith Trudeau.Soon I hope.Please pass this to him from me.jkenney althiaraj CandiceBergenMP MichelleRempel

It should be an excellent learning opportunity for Justin.

awudrick yikes

britjpncdn Anyone heard from Green ElizabethMay on this? Is she also calling for Trudeau to testify? She was very vocal (and rightly so) on JTs previous ethical faux pas, ie LavScam.

Oh_Canada2 Hope he tells the truth under oath but I have my doubts. Sorry doesn’t cut it-no confidence vote asap!

Whoop de ding we get yet another apology and I didn't know.

Trudeau is a walking house of cards. cdnpoli TrudeauCorruption TrudeauMustTestify

MattamyWatch So it please so we can have an election and you can see how fast you loose your minority to JT

Go Bloc!

MsBouvari JustinTrudeau Get your act together on reunification! Fiances/Bfs/Gfs separated by border closures for 5 mnths!!! MONEY not mental health means more to Canada? You're dangerously close to violating Charter Rights!

Oh yay the green party. They should stand up and be part of the discussion to find out the truth and call this minority government to the carpet for answers. Canadians deserve to know why this government is not held accountable. Better yet, why we keep letting them.

Finally!!

LindaFrum Wow, I guess Trudeau is cornered this time!

LindaFrum Liz May supports the non-audit?

If they think this helps them they are sadly mistaken.

Good to see other parties acknowledging that this ain't legit... I really wonder wether this is gonna be the downfall of Trudeau’s minority government or not. If so, then I have to make up my mind about voting preference real quick, first time voting ain’t easy! 🤣

Why, so he can say he is sorry again, for another faux pas.? Just like the immature being he is, entitled rich kid , wonder what he will try next.

Going to be a lot of lying going on. Ask where the billions of dollars went for the 20,000 imaginary infrastructure projects. Sure makes sense why Trudeau won't allow audits to take place. Wonder how many hundreds of billions they've stolen? She could tell us.

AGMacDougall Finally a light on the end of the tunnel to fight and stop this soft corruption

And there it is. The real reason for all of this. It's all about power not ethics. Why leave the Libs incharge if you believe they broke the law/can't be trusted? You wouldn't. Unless you want a show trial & media sensation to last. They hit a charity/kids to get at the PM!

AlanKeeso Guess JustinTrudeau wasn't quick/generous enough with the chequebook to suit yfblanchet.

Any of the parties not calling for a criminal investigation at this point - given all the information that has come out - is putting their partisan agendas ahead of the good of the country.

Conservatives call for Trudeau to testify at committee on WE Charity dealThe federal Conservatives want Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to testify before a parliamentary committee about his government's controversial decision to enlist WE Charity to administer a $900-million student volunteer program. Yeah...things are kinda slow, a fishing trip is in order here when no one seems to have much to do. At this point any of the parties not doing so are guilty of putting their partisan agendas ahead of the good of the country.
