After Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's summer prorogation shut down all parliamentary business, including the series of committee studies into the WE Charity student grant controversy, the Conservatives are looking to revive them and have Trudeau testify to his reasoning for the August reset.

At the Procedure and House Affairs Committee , the Conservatives have brought forward a motion asking for the prime minister to testify and turn over documents related to the decision to prorogue Parliament, as well as requesting a series of new disclosures related to the WE Charity affair.

In addition to Trudeau, they want to hear from Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, Government House Leader Pablo Rodriguez, and Minister of Diversity and Inclusion and Youth Bardish Chagger, who was the minister in charge of the canned student grant that was put on ice amid political controversy this summer, leaving students without an avenue for income ahead of the fall semester.

With the committees that were studying this not yet up and running, the Conservatives say that PROC is the only venue other than the House of Commons for the opposition to try to advance inquiries into the affair, which they view as not yet finished. "Yes, there's questions that the opposition deserves to get answers to, and in due course that can happen," he said.

we know from 2015 liberals are corrupt where did the 186 bil go PBO can't find it liberals defunded auditor general fake news

This guy really needs his feet held to the fire. He must be made accountable for the various breaches of ethics. This guy is just plain crooked!

We can concentrate on the pandemic and the WE scandal at the same time. Give me a break!

Not a peep from Singh

It’s only renewed in the media, most others haven’t tried to bury it.

Canadians should want answers

The WE scandal needs to be investigated now. Not whenever the government decides the pandemic is over.

... Dogs barking at their shadows, coming out of their darkness....

Every single 'COVID-19 death' is fraudulent until the cause of death and Ct values are released. Ontario PCR test is highly flawed due to high positivity cutoff Ct values (38-45). Health Minister refuses to lower sensitivity.

How low can a Prime Minister get? Using a children charity as shell company to pay his family and party. While Canadians are suffering in pandemic cause he was to lazy to close the borders or do anything at all. Couldnt even get us masks. Empty jets give me a break.

They should have to wait until after the pandemic is over. The conservatives should participate in finding a vaccine or cure. cdnpoli

If you put the bloc ppc party and conservatives together for a non confidence vote isnt that enough to call an election. Trudeau and Health Canada sat on there hands all through summer on latest covid testing and are neglecting Canadians. We need an election now to save lives!

Conservatives should file these things away for later and work on keeping this country from falling apart.

Conservatives offer nothing to Canadians!

But what about Benghazi? And the emails? And does he have a private server he uses for government emails... When the f**k did we become Americanized?

The Liberal-NDP will block it.

Bbbbbbbbuuttttt Harper

I surely hope they don't let up on that political fiasco.

Shouldn't the MEDIA demand and expect answers to the WEscandal too? WTF is wrong with Canada's MSM. Do your jobs. Ask tough questions and keep asking them until you get answers.

FireTrudeau WheresTheMoneyCatherine WEscandal SncLavalinScam

So if the cons are so hepped on pursuing this faux scandal because they have absolutely nothing else to offer Canadians, I suggest they do it on their own time and with their own dime. Republicons: stop wasting taxpayers money and the governments time. WouldYouJustShutUpMan!

Oh ya FireTrudeau WEscandal

Anyone who doesn’t believe this needs an investigation is delusional. So Bill the sacrificial lamb is enough for everyone to pull the ol 🙈🙉🙊

2/2 nation, multiple investigations into numerous ethics violations, COVID testing circus(health minister had since March to get it together) tell me again y we think our government has done so great during COVID cuz from whr I sit doesnt look like it

In the middle of a economic/health crisis every dollar should be accountable, this needs investigation along with missing millions in infrastructure this is TAXPAYER money not their personal feel free to just lose it, we have the highest unemployment rate of any G7 1/2

The scandal is that the Cons are ranting about the growing deficit. No one likes deficits but the alternative to not doing what it takes to help people with food and shelter and keep the economy going is far worse than any deficit that will result.

They should never never let this go. Let this be a thorn in the idiots sons side.

This corrupt charity will likely hurt lots of future donations to legitimate ones. There needs to be more transparency and rules around what donations can be used for.

Don't really care!!!! I am more concerned about Covid19QC. The Conservatives are as bad as the Republicans.

This infuriates me!!!! Nobody cares!! They’re not serving anybody but themselves this shit!! Stop it!!’

They need to give it up. Second wave is here.

Testify!

Your image pictures a very sad looking drone. Who is that man and where have you taken Justine?

This is what the official opposition is supposed to do . You should be supporting this ....,but we know who butters your bread . Idiots

I think the bigger question is, why aren’t the msm pushing for answers to this? If they pushed into this half as hard as they do condemning any conservative who misspeaks , wed already have answers. Oh right, there is that fund JustinTrudeau set up and k Telford sends your Q’s

TrudeauWorstPM TrudeauResignNOW TrudeauDictatorship

OMG, just give it up already FFS...

Omg give it a rest. Do the conservatives have nothing else to focus on?

Well yeah it's a huge scandal

Awesome!

ZackSlater54 Keep pressing, somewhere there is a crack.

I think people will be interested in seeing the ethics commissioner report when it is finished (regardless of outcome) But not this clown-hypocrisy show by Pierre Poilievre et al.

Conservatives voted against supporting Canadians right as we are heading into the second wave. Unforgivable.

Oh, for Christ's sake, let it go. The charity's wrecked, and there is nothing left to dredge up.

Canadians are all waiting for the day these current conservatives grow up, nobody is holding their breathe thou.

Do they truly think this is effective?

It’s not an “affair” WE ONLY PAID TRUDEAU’S to speak and Our Crime Minister gave WE a one BILLION dollar UNTENDERED contract which is unprecedented...other speakers were angry see...

Just open the books and follow the money. Pretty frickin simple

JustinTrudeau promised electoral reform

Good

Let the games begin! TrudeauCorruption

Excellent. I hope they don’t let go !

Oh good grief. Cpc so full of it. But im sure tgey'll get all the air they need from useful hacks

Good. Don’t let that clown get away with it.

Yes keep pushing for this!!

Of course they do. They might as well have some Benghazi hearings while they are at it, too. Whatever.

Lol no.

LIBERALS ARE CROOKS

Keep flogging that lame horse. Sounds like the Cons adscam approach. They used adscam over 3 elections with no effect until they got a minority gov't. Don't think adscam resonated. Don't think WE is going to do much either

Seriously? Prorogation is a normal function of Parliament.

Should happen but ... he hasn’t been accountable for anything yet so. This will be swept under the rug as well !

Yes!

JT wouldn't answer a thing anyway, smoke and mirrors at all times people.

conservatives need to examine their heads.

Is this all the cons have? WE? Testify on prorogation? That's rich coming from the Harper cons.

The Liberals are going up in the polls and the CPC has nothing else. No decent ideas or policy to announce. So they just shriek bloody murder, again, and push this. The CPC has become the far right GOP of Canada.

It needs to be addressed!

Now if CTV and Global could run real stories regarding this situation instead of fluff pieces on Trump to take the heat off Trudeau.

Lol read the room

Conservatives aka HarperReformers want want want and mostly what they want is power over Canadians, they don't want to serve the people, they want media attention,whether they have anything to offer or not stoptheFauxOutrage

The majority of Canadians are not interested in the Right’s fake scandals. Voters prefer political parties that offer policies that promote positive liberty, equality, equity, justice, opportunities for all, diversity, tolerance, compassion, unity, peace and acceptance.

What a waste of time, energy and print.

So sick of the Cons and their desperate dirt digging.

The PM’s mom was WE’s mascot and Justin acted like he had no idea. Where was mom getting all the cash? Trudeau shrugs. cdnpoli

If they were honestly outraged, they would've voted no confidence on the latest bill.

Oh you mean that one where all the testimony showed there was no conflict of interest? Riiiight. Clearly the Conservatives were too chicken to face an election, as they know we'd wipe the floor with them.

PM Trudeau already testified about WECharity . Harper prorogued to AVOID a vote of confidence; Trudeau just held that vote. Did Harper have to testify about proroguing just so he could use a taxpayer-financed PR machine to polish up his image from the Calgary Olympics? No.

Good. Lets hear the answers and then be done with it. This Gov’t needs to stop dragging everything out.

That horse is dead. My god. 🤦🏼‍♂️

While pushing a concurrence motion to delay help for Canadians.

I want more investigation into WE and another half dozen scandals the Liberals are in to as well!!

Ya, ya, ya, who care the Bootlickers say... Also the same people a few yrs ago, MIKE DUFFY!!!! Or BEV'S $16 ORANGE JUICE!!!! 🙄

When you have nothing else, nothing to offer, no plan and no positive message, this is all you have left to do

It wasn't a fucking affair.

Guess what CPC_HQ AND Canadian Media. Read the room. WE people are so over these scandals de jour that you all keep wasting time on. WE are in the midst of a pandemic with 2 provinces in the 2nd wave. WE don't care about WE. GET OVER IT. NOW! cdnpoli

Yeah good luck with that. There is no accountability in this country. It is lost.

So they want to go back to the well, the WE 'scandal', and use it to attack the Prime Minister on another topic. I wish they'd just knock it off & stop trying to campaign to lower his polling numbers. Aren't there ANY Canadians in that bunch interested in public service?

LOLLLL Translation : the dismal, putrid Cons have nothing!

The Republican Party of Canada has nothing to offer but the politics of faux-outrage. Maybe cdnmedia should expose Erin O'Toole and Andrew Scheer's ties to Rebel Media that was co-founded by Hamish Marshall and Ezra Levant along with Gavin McInnes. McInnes founded Proud Boys.

Tell them to go fuck themselves. We are in a pandemic. Some people are living day to day and they can’t vote for a help package just because they care more about hurting Libs than people’s lives. Nobody gives a hoot about WE. Least of all normal people who care about their kids.

What happened to pursuing all the previous scandals? TrudeauCorruption

Most Canadians (those who aren't brainwashed by the lying media) want this crime minister thrown in jail!!

Oh FFS. That is all.

WE questions are on the top of my list. Lots of money not accounted

There's a wolf this time, I swear!

ever notice that each time the polling numbers come out and the CPC drop, there is a new whine of the day to detract from the business of government... new CPC Leader, same lack of ideas, and no sign of caring for Canadians.

Excellent news!! Trudeau shouldn't be able to slither away as usual from his corruption.

Is there any sane taxpaying Canadians here that want some answers? Or just paid liberal sheep serving TrudeauDictatorship?

To late he’s already dodged the issue with the support of the NDP

Trudeau needs to be approached and asked to resign.

OttawaPolitico This is critical. JT must be held accountable. Not only for this particular scandal (of which there are many) but also for his multitude ethics violations. Unfortunately the Leftist media defends him.

Good!

Sigh.

in other words, they have nothing of substance to attract voters. CPC_HQ

If only WE had unbiased journalism in Canada that would do the same. Shame on all of you.

As they should. Homeowners will tear the walls out looking for the rotten smell permeating the house. This stench has corruption and nepotism in spades.

Too bad media is bias. We could get some answers.

I'm JT received a cookie from a girl guide, let's investigate that

It should be a matter of concern for everyone!...

The scandal wasn’t over just because Trudeau shut down parliament

Well the rcmp have forgotten their role in Canada so the opposition party has an obligation

Good, good, good. WEScandal can't be forgotten.

Good! Trudeau prorogued Parliament to avoid the WE scandal when 5,000 pages showed up with most of it redacted. What is he afraid of? And then there’s this ‘promise’ from 2015...👇👇👇

erinotoole PierrePoilievre It’s over. You lost. Give it up. Stop wasting everyone’s times and money. CPC_HQ

Um yes

flogging a dead horse. Its a dead issue already no one cares. No money went missing No money disappeared. Showing just how desperate the Conservative Reform Alliance Party really is. Why not take a stab at actual policy debates? Ya, I hear you, not sexy enough for you

This will just backfire for the cons and wedge lib voters with potentially voting for NDP or 3rd party green.

Singh and Trudeau say no and the UN seconds the motion - next

Good

A ton of frightened liberals on here. What are you afraid of. This man does not reflect the liberal party I know. We heard non stop that Trump would close down the Mueller investigation. He didn't. Thia is4 that PMJT has closed down I believe.

Good. I still want answers. Why hasn't WE org given the documents to the committee yet? They said they would.

Good

It’s called accountability. Just as you will be held accountable for your bias and propping up a Government that truly only cares about its own survival. Trust me one day you’ll look back and realize your part In the corruption. defundMSM

He's a disgrace to Canada! TrudeauResignNOW TrudeauMustGo

Oh, for God’s sake! Don’t Conservatives have better things to do than bang on again about WE! Tempest in a teapot in midst of pandemic with O’Toole back in HOC before his quarantine is up. Totally irresponsible party.

We deserve answers.

get to the bottom of it These liberals are totally dirty

when you have no new ideas play politics.

Follow the money 💰

cuz liberals don't mind being ripped off?

41k in extras for VIPs in the middle of Nowhere, Ecuador. It's about time.

Was prorogation necessary? Nope. Just stalled the inevitable.

No one cares about WE!

Waste of time for parliament and CTV. Are you happy you destroyed a remarkable charity?

Conservatives and anyone that pays taxes in this country should want to have WE affair examined!

And so they should be investigated. This is a huge story CTV. Maybe you guys could put some airtime in to this problem instead of meddling in th US politics.

not renew its resume after Skippy tried to block the investigation again

Remember when Obama colluded in the Canadian election adamantly publically endorsing JT? Same Obama that just got exposed for sitting in on a meeting as Hillary dictated their plan to frame and commit a coup against Trump falsifying Russia hoax? Oh how the cookie crumbles.

Not just WE. Many liberal affiliated charities are rotten to the core. They are foreign and domestic money launderers supporting the liberal party. MakeWay trudeaufoundation TrudeauCorruption WEscam cdnpoli

Ctv=trash news

Cons not satisfied Cheating students & poor with less than 1000$ income of aid. CultOfBillionaireWorship want All unemployed to starve and that money diverted to Their pension investment companies. We bailed out trillions and Oligarchy trickled down tenths of a percentile.

Good

Must be an investigation, something made those brothers beat it the hell out of Canada pretty fuckin quick

Full steam ahead. Follow the money right to the back door of the Trudeau Foundation.

TrudeauCorruption TrudeauMustGo

rexglacer Thank God! Some good news today.

But what about Benghazi? And the emails? And does he have a private server he uses for government emails... When the f**k did we become Americanized?

FFS no one cares only Those Skeets

Good. We know Trudeau prorogued Parliament to try and kill the investigation into him. It has been the most blatantly self serving thing he's done to date.

Every one in the country should be demanding the same including what amounts to the media today...

Shouldn't they, Presstitutes? Isn't the objective of real journalism to find the truth on TrudeuaCorruption U should be pushing for it too!! CDNpoli

The Canadian people want this TakeResponsibility JustinTrudeau

You all to distracted with blm etc to notice what these elite petofile are doing. Just took in gislene maxwell not a peep eh CTV what’s your motives? Who funds you?

They should see the billions this crook is moving around during a pandemic unaccounted for....

Omg this is pathetic

Justin just wants to put that ugly mess behind him and move forward...CHP ChristianHeritageParty
