Ethics commissioner Mario Dion is investigating the involvement of Trudeau and former finance minister Bill Morneau, who also has family ties to WE, in awarding the $43.5-million contract. Both have apologized for not recusing themselves from the decision. Conservative ethics critic Michael Barrett also tweeted Wednesday that his party will pursue a summons “in the interest of accountability to Canadians.”“I’m very, very perplexed that they’re taking this strategy,” Angus said in an interview.

The brothers have already testified for four hours at the Commons finance committee last summer, after controversy over the student-grant program erupted.

Corruption and Liberals! Inseparable! why did we elect them and why anyone would vote for them, living of someone else’s legacy!

ianabailey Decline? Wtf Canada.

Nothing to hide?

“Partisan”=not fully loaded and controlled with Trudeau groupies. They’re afraid of someone asking actual questions about WE acting as the youth wing of the Trudeau propaganda machine.

PMJT asked WE Charity to host a 2017 Cda Day wknd event on Parliament Hill, paid $1.18 million. PMs mother was a speaker at the event. In a memo obtained by National Post, Marc Kielburger said he had received the invitation from Trudeau and the Heritage ministry.
