Conservatives call for criminal investigation of WE Charity contract

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The Conservative Party is calling for a criminal investigation into the awarding of the now-cancelled WE Charity contract and will be asking the RCMP to launch the probe, the party said Friday.

“There are sufficient grounds for this matter to be investigated by police,” Mr. Barrett told reporters.He said the Conservatives have not yet sent the request to the RCMP but will be doing so on Friday. That information contradicts previous comments made by the Prime Minister’s Office to The Globe and Mail and a statement from WE Charity to the Canadaland online news outlet. The Prime Minister’s office denied that his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau was ever paid for her participation in events and Canadaland reported that WE Charity previously denied Margaret had been paid for her role in events.

WE Charity was to be paid at least $19.5-million to run the program, with $5-million of that going to other organizations.

Conservatives have overshot this one. Ethics maybe, but not criminal. Trying to scandalized this is shameful! Let's wait for Ethics Commissioner findings.

Defund the conservatives, their all usless.

I denounce the denounces!

Another glorious chance for the NDP to help turn Canada over the craziest Conservative party the country has ever seen and that's saying something. Jagmeet DO NOT DO IT.

Good luck. He’s like John Gotti. Nothing sticks.

🙄

globepolitics I heard some people getting pension checks voted Liberals. Won't the Conservatives do something about this OUTRAGE !!!!

Next can we investigate the teachers and their virtual volunteer students. The Ontario teachers strike was always about the children

Criminal? Go sit down.

Is it that bad ?

So they were paid (by the profit arm) before this contract was awarded...ok? Nothing about that is illegal. Dozens of politicians get paid for speaking engagements from myriad charities every year. Is the contract unethical, possibly. Illegal? Seems a desperate stretch by CPC...

RCMP should investigate how much money Hua Wei gave Trudeau's associates under the table. To unfold the mysteries why Trudeau insists in opening the door to Hua Wei in 5G infrastructure, and put Canadians' security at risk.

globepolitics Can’t wait for the police to find nothing so that this blows up in the face of the Conservatives.

Rotsa ruck with that.

Do Bill Morneau while you're at it . There are probably many more . They got greedy . Wake up Canada .

Super Dave agrees. superdaverabts

That’s improvement over their usual emend drawing and quartering.
