The threat of a possible snap election will be hovering over Parliament Hill this week as opposition parties resume their fight with the Liberal government over the WE controversy and preparations for the second wave of COVID-19.

Conservative health critic Michelle Rempel Garner on Sunday called for a House of Commons committee to investigate what she suggested was Ottawa's lack of readiness in dealing with the recent resurgence in COVID-19 cases.

Yet the real drama will surround ongoing opposition efforts to dig into the government's decision in the spring to have WE Charity run a multimillion-dollar federal program for student volunteers during the pandemic. Rempel Garner was noncommittal on Sunday when asked if the Tories planned to push for what they are describing as an "anticorruption committee," saying the party still has another day to decide.

The ethics committee was similarly stalled over a Conservative motion demanding the agency that arranged speaking events for Trudeau, his wife, mother and brother, turn over receipts for all the Trudeaus' paid engagements over the past 12 years.

Lol... this stupid witch hunt will end the cons party chances to beat PMJT in the next election

Rempel, the Oklahoma batshit far right wing MP! 🤦🏻‍♀️ you’ve also lost your moral compass CTV, if you ever had one.....

Snap election please. Get Trudeau and his puppet Singh out. We need a no confidence vote. Trudeau gone. Singh lose the NDP leadership.

Get it correct if you are going to show Rempel. She wants to get to the bottom of Trudeau’s failures with the COVID, not we. She is on the Health Committee

Ellie May now that's a good moniker for MR!

Why why why

2/2 unemployment of any G7 nation,multiple investigations into ethics(if libs have nothing to hide let investigations happen) I dont trust Trudeau with my taxpayer money to say they r managing things well is the biggest joke I've heard,not mention 200 million to failing casino?

Laughing at some of these comments in the middle of a health/economic crisis every $ must be accountable&transparent we also do not want to burden future generations with huge taxes, where is the missing millions in infrastructure, y do we have the highest 1/2

Complete waste of time. We all know that the WE fiasco was illegal, conflict of interest etc. But it’s plainly obvious that the NDP will back the Liberals so this is a waste of time. Just get on with the economic recovery.

It's like a same song on repeat too long. If it wasn't for COVID another election would have been called by now. Hopefully, Trudeau won't run next time. He's sketchy. However, don't really care about the WE scandal. There's real work that needs to be done other than politics ATM

IN RELATED NEWS, CTV,CBC AND GLOBAL PREPARE TO DEFEND THEIR MENTOR AND LEADER JUSTINE TO THE VERY END,WHICH CANNOT COME TOO SOON !!

Omg. There is no WE scandal or controversy. This is a made up political hit job that’s been given a platform by our shameful media.

TrudeauCorruption

There. Is. No. WE. Controversy. The. End.

Honest Canadians want honest government and the depths of this corruption revealed before the next election. The effort Libs are putting into coverup indicates it is big! Keep going opposition. You need to do want MSM refuses to.

She has ZERO credibility or respect from Canadians. Read the room. We will take all of you complicit Canadian media out with these RepubliCons you better pick a side!

It's a good thing that there aren't Premiers not trying to privatize healthcare or stealing workers CPP otherwise you guys wouldn't have anything to cover.

I see the demon spawn is back from Oklahoma.

Good It isn't just important to the opposition and the majority of Canadians The PBO, Auditor General, Commons Law Office and Ethics Commissioner amongst others all have concerns When the institutions of government are concerned it should be of importance to ALL Canadians

TrudeauWorstPMEver TrudeauCrimeMinister TrudeauMustGo Trudeaublackface

Oh shut up.

good thing there are no other issues facing Canada today other than a charity destroyed by conservative smears

Nail Trudeau to the wall,he's a corrupt horrible politician,if u don't see that it's just because u don't wanna believe the truth,c'mon people no one is that stupid

Don’t give up this will prove to be a major scandal

You mean they’re stirring up this crap again because they have nothing else. Might want to revise your headline

Written another way... & other Trudeau loving media gear up to cover for Trudeau and his WEscandal.

... Just to justify their salary and be in opposition with anything.

How about the fact that O'Toole attended the AGM of the UCP, a break away ultra conservative party that only exists in AB, who on the same night approved a policy to two-tier private health care, and to withdrawal AB from CPP...

The best thing to happen to JustinTrudeau was that trump got elected. People to busy looking there,instead of looking here.

Let it go- more important things to deal with during this pandemic

Canadians do not care about corruption. Canadians do not care about accountability Canadians are lazy - every day they watch their freedoms robbed and say nothing. Canada is owned by China and the masses are so passive they never even noticed.

Good This isn't just of importance to the majority of Canadians The PBO, Auditor General, Commons Law Office and Ethics Commissioner amongst others all have concerns as well

michelle remple really annoys me

There should have been an anti-corruption committee from the very beginning!
