WE Charity Contract With Liberal Gov’t Needs Closer Look: Tories

OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives are calling for an investigation into the Liberal government’s decision to have an international charity administer a $900-million program designed to help students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Conservatives also noted the “well documented” connections between WE and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as they underscored the importance of transparency, accountability and value for money in Ottawa’s COVID-19 spending. “Indeed, it is your office that will provide the most legitimate and transparent examination of this program.”Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre listens to a question during a news conference on June 9, 2020 in Ottawa.The Liberal government announced the Canada Student Service Grant last week as part of a broader suite of support for students and young people struggling to find internships, job placements and other work-related experience during COVID-19.

Trudeau defended employing WE to administer the program after conflict-of-interest concerns were raised last week. The prime minister attended several WE events in the past and his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, hosts one of its podcasts.

B S and you know it 😡🇨🇦

Bullshit. Let’s here from the non-partisan public service.

I have a bridge for sale

Andrew sheer used party money to pay for his kid’s private schools, and the Liberals or NDP didn’t make a huge fuss about it... how are they any better

Gee and most Cons attend weekly church services, which are charities and give money!

Does it? Sorry still in pandemic mode... Bigger things to consider... Not like Trump and Pence...

ah politics, one party wins and the other spends the next 4 years doing nothing but under hand the party in power, doing nothing constructive, just searching and searching for anything, anything to bring that party down...power, we must have power!! so pathetic.

Just one more issue for the MSM and Trudeau supporters to turn their eyes away from.

Has Peter put on his big boy pants yet?

If she didn't get paid, then it's not an issue. Shut up.

Congratulations to the PM and his wife for engaging with young people at the WE events. It is a huge deal for our young people to be supported by their leader and his family. These old Conservatives can’t relate.

This is pretty weak stuff from the Opposition

Considering the OLP still hasn't learned from 15 years of ineptitude and corruption, they still won't get my vote. Vote Green, because the NDP refuse to get rid of the insufferable Andrea Horwath. Couldn't even beat Doug Ford in an easy win election.
