The issue is not the right of the prime minister’s relatives — his wife, brother and mother — to work. Nor is it the good works WE would no doubt insist it does, and would have done, had the organization disbursed $900 million in public funds as originally planned. Nor is the issue about which branch of the WE organization signed which cheque, and which should have.
The issue is, yet again, the prime minister showing a no-longer-shocking inability or unwillingness to perceive how his actions appear, and his apparent absence of interest in rules and guidelines intended to protect him as much as the public. Handing out millions in management fees to an organization with ongoing financial links to his family requires, at the very least, prior disclosure and the prime minister’s recusal from the vote.
We’ve had none of these things. There was no prior disclosure — indeed, WE had previously denied payments to the prime minister’s family. The prime minister has admitted he did not recuse himself from the cabinet vote that would have given WE the work, had the plan not been abandoned. And despite repeated questioning as to why WE was selected in the first place, the Liberals have offered only vague mumblings about WE being the only organization that could have done the job.
The Prime Minister’s Office will try to obscure the issue, in its efforts to mitigate this latest unforced ethical lapse by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Don’t let it. This was easily avoidable. Canadians, once again, deserved better from Trudeau. And once again, they didn’t get it.
And who would that be? One of these clowns?

We do deserve better than American owned media companies telling us to vote for American PM’s
The LPC is treating our hard earned tax dollars as their own piggy bank to play with. We need an independent audit of the entire $343B paid out (to date) by Liberals. If they have no concept of conflict interest, how can we be assured of the integrity of the payments?
Yes we do ! Where is BETTER going to come from ? All parties need to do BETTER !
WE or we?!?!?
In Ontario, the eHealth Ontario scandal, where Ontario lost $8 Billion, occurred under conservatives and liberals. It is the people in the scandal who must be held accountable, not the political party. CBCToronto CIHI_ICIS OntariosDoctors janephilpott picardonhealth
The only reason. Trudeau is PM is because other people keep protecting him Until the liberal_party and the NDP decide he is so toxic it's going to hurt them nothing will change Both seem to forget how many swing voters are watching to see who shows integrity and who doesn't
