In the meantime, the House finance committee’s efforts to delve deeper into the controversy could be stymied due to the unavailability of key witnesses

PATRICK DOYLE/THE CANADIAN PRESS

But committee chair Wayne Easter says it could be cancelled because, as of late Wednesday, none of the invited witnesses had yet confirmed their appearance. Indeed, he is hoping that the documents will clarify some facts and give the committee a better sense of who should be called as witnesses and what questions should be asked.

The controversy has dogged the government since late June, when it announced an agreement to pay WE Charity up to $43.5 million to administer a $912-million grant program designed to encourage students to sign up for volunteer work related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The agreement stipulated that the charity could not make money on the deal.

Is that a fishing pole I see in your hand, or are you just happy to see us!

Move on! This tweet likely won’t age well...

I’m sure all the documents have been shredded by now

Well you won’t get the proof from Trudeau and the Liberals...he expects you to believe a group that NEVER did anything like this was the FIRST and ONLY recommendation of the Public Service, and that they MADE him do it

Trudeau is still waiting for the vaccine from China by giving the permit to Huawei 5G as exchange.

blah blah blah 'let's be conservatives and fail all the time in public' aren't there some donuts to complain about?

This type of story is why I gave up on the Globe and Mail a while ago.

Stop TrudeauCorruption

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Good work. Destroying a charity for youth. Taking away summer jons. Great help from the Glob & Rail. You must all be proud.

JamesJJRyan So.... Fishing. Hoping for a gotcha that by everything so far is just not there. You should be embarrassed for giving 'The Opposition' so much oxygen, trying to turn a birthday candle into a blowtorch.

globepolitics OTOH, when its found to be a nothing-burger, they'll continue to yell cover-up and still have nothing constructive to offer Canadians except snark and outrage.

And the $113 M -Ten year sole-sourced contract to build PPE to a PQ company that has no factory, but then got a PQ gov subsidy to get SNC to build them one. Another Liberal Scam story Canadian Media don’t want to report on.

I would much rather it be the rcmpgrcpolice and EthicsCanada running the investigations Regardless of how warranted committees will always is political theatre It’s time for real consequences and real accountability

Why are we still talking about a program that doesnt exist. I get it but let’s move on. Bigger fish to fry. protectcanadians cdnpoli onpoli
