Political fallout continues despite shuttering of WE's Canadian operations

NDP MP Charlie Angus says WE's announcement Wednesday that it is shuttering its Canadian operations only underscores the lack of due diligence done by the government before handing administration of the program over to an organization that was evidently in financial distress.

Trudeau himself has been a featured speaker at half a dozen WE events and his wife, mother and brother have been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years in expenses and speaking fees. However, the WE affair is likely to continue dogging the government when Parliament reopens on Sept. 23 with the demise of the organization's Canadian operations only adding fuel to the fire.

The deal stipulated that WE was not to make money on the program. The charity has repaid the full $30 million the government gave it to launch the program and has said it will not seek reimbursement for some $5 million in expenses incurred before WE withdrew from the deal in early July amid political controversy.

It follows news last month that WE would be laying off dozens of employees in Canada and the United Kingdom.
