Despite Liberal WE Charity apologies, opposition call for answers and action for students

OTTAWA -- Federal opposition parties are continuing to demand answers from the federal government, and are calling for a quick solution to revive or rework the now-halted $900 million student summer grant program.

While the government has vowed to rework the program as quickly as possible, after WE Charity handed back over the program to the government along with the funding, thousands of students are left in limbo without summer jobs and, for now, no chance for volunteer grants to help cover costs like fall tuition.

“The whole premise of the Canada Student Service Grant was problematic,” said Green Party MP and employment critic Paul Manly in the same statement, noting that the amount being offered for the volunteer work was less than the minimum wage in any province. "There was thousands of opportunities that were posted… Right now we are looking to get the program out the door once again, looking at what needs to be done us to be able to deliver this program," she said.

Give back the dang money with interest.

Had a working charity platform torpedoed by Conservative partisan trough licker's. Because NO government expenditure over 1 million can go ahead without THEIR CUT of the pie. Disaster Capitalists have spoken and Whipped Trudeau like a dog

Do not trust.

Sorry I took tax pay 💰

Is it acceptable to apologize for fraud and other financial crimes now and be absolved?

Liberals are doing more for the promotion of Western Independence than anything we could do - Keep up the great work Justin!🤠

Put the money in grants for students , student loans are huge hardship on them , stop just giving it a way

Fake Apologies by Justin BLACKFACE Trudeau & Bill TRUST FUND BOY Morneau were because they got caught AGAIN. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, this CANANDIAN wants answers as well. I also want answers to why CBC & CTV continue to protect this unethical, arrogant PM.

Let me fix that headline for you…Despite Liberal WE Charity apologies, CANADIAN TAX PAYERS WANT answers and action TrudeauWorstPM TrudeauCrimeFamily

Of course an apology is not enough Trudeau failed Canadians. Most of all he betrayed students that depended on this money. The RCMP should be investigating Trudeau.

Stop stop stop stop

I like were they say they’re transparent and then block everyone from talking to the ethics commission and drag it out until people don’t care anymore. And the country slips down another notch

We need to get rid of this government!!

More bùmbling words from trudeau two tungs

An apology in the face of getting caught and then repeating the same actions over and over isn't actually an apology, it's an attempt to pander to liberal voters in the hopes they'll still support the corrupt behaviour.

Despite the Liberal apologies...”. It’s almost as though thinks that should be enough to deal with a $900 million dollar conflict of interest and potential criminal fraud case.

What kind of BS headline is this CTV 'Despite'. You really think those half hearted apologies is enough and answers all the glaring questions around this scandal?

Corrupt CTVLol is a major sponsor of the Creepy We Cult and has it’s greasy fingers all over this mess. Is it any wonder this Propaganda outfit is again covering for this criminal regime.

How does an apology absolve a crime? Does that mean murderers can escape justice with an apology? If they escape justice again than we will have proof of a banana republic.

They would rather cut help for students. Ask Ontario students. Their platform is to oppose and smear Trudeau. Oh and $53B in cuts.

All the Conservative trolls can feast on this for awhile a feeding frenzy!

Cons slipping in the polls on a daily basis. Good job guys, keep up the hard work it is paying off.

Yeah, maybe use the government program that already exists and up the funding for it like the conservatives wanted to begin with? Nah.... better for BLACKFACE CRIMEMINISTER try and 'use' another 'charity' so he can enrich himself and his friends because he doesn't give a shit.

Liberals corruption will cost students.... but they blame the corruption investigation as the crime. Last resort of the cornered and desperate.

FFS did Justin threaten to cut you off from your portion of the $600 million? Absolutely pitiful headline and reporting.

Despite apologizing? Despite calling yourself a NEWS organization you seem to get away with stupid commentary that exemplifies your pathetic Liberal bias!

This is an OBAMA TAN SUIT issue, nothing Burger.

Despite liberal apologies WTF is wrong w u PressTitutes! Trudeau committed a CRIME w taxpayers $$! TrudeauCorruption must b investigated n sanctioned for his CRIMINAL act! Why Trudeau ethics violations r mildly discussed by the LameStreamMedia TrudeauResignNOW CDNpoli

Despite being caught in another case of corruption...there fixed your biased headline.

Despite the apology? Are you really THIS vacuous? Do you think political scandals are resolved by apologies? This guy and his cronies took our money and funnelled it to friends and family. A real news outlet would be trying to find out how deep this goes.

“There is no context in which someone doesn’t have responsibility for things they’ve done in the past.” - Justin Trudeau

This whole WE thing stinks! WE laid off 400 because of this? CANADALAND when were the 400 hired? April? This plan was hatched long before the news of it broke. No?

Wow. What a headline. You gotta be kidding me ?!?

If I apologize for being short on my taxes...🤔

he needs to RESIGN

The Trudeau “Liberals” were more concerned with their own self interests than they were actually providing opportunities for young people If that had been the sole focus WE would not even have entered the conversation and none of this would have ever taken place

“Despite apologies”? What does that even mean? Yes, if you commit a crime you usually get charged, despite apologies.
