At issue are the thousands of pages of government documents related to the WE scandal that were disclosed to the finance committee in the summer

The meeting resumed late Thursday afternoon but the first part of it was conducted in camera, which blocks the public from viewing the discussions.into whether the WE Charity trips taken by former Finance Minister Bill Morneau were an improper gift. As first reported by CBC, Dion has now informed Morneau that he accepts Morneau “genuinely believed” he’d reimbursed the 2017 travel taken in Ecuador and Kenya by himself and his family.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is also being examined by Dion for not recusing himself despite his own family’s payments for speaking at WE events. It is not yet known when Dion will release his report, but it could arrive later this year.Bloc MP sides with Liberals, attempt to unearth Trudeaus' WE Charity speaking contracts fails by one vote

The Liberals are attempting to address the complaint by having the Privy Council Clerk Ian Shugart appear at the committee to explain the redactions. “Mr. Shugart is a fine man, but he is hired and fired by the prime minister. He is dependent on the prime minister for his job. No one who the prime minister can fire should be in charge of determining what documents are released about the prime minister’s scandal.”

Kinda looks like what Harper used to do, hmmmm

Keep up the good work PC team

If Trump can release the completely un-redacted, 3-year Russia collusion hoax investigation, I’m sure JT can release the 1-month WEScandal report, Mr Transparency.

Haven't heard from Pete Poylever lately. Where has he been?

Oh, yah! We get to watch his head explode again

Stop playing games at our cost...

Poor Skippy, no one cares about WE or his imaginary triangle conspiracy. And now all the focus will be on the health committee. Skippy just looks alone and pathetic.

O'Toole and the tories simply HAVE to bite down on this WE scandal (and anything else) until ALL the facts come out. It's serious for the country and will bring O'Toole to prominence. Canadians want a strong and principled leader. O'Toole must avoid austerity talk for a while.

As the news breaks more and more, poor Pierre might be losing his 10 million he somehow made while being an MP. How does an MP become 10 million richer on a salary that is less then 200,000 a year. cndpoli

Huh.

I couldn't care less about this non scandal. Leave it to the National Post to beat this dead horse. And you wonder why your circulation numbers are in the toilet. So glad I cancelled my subscription.

Clearly they have nothing to hide

WE couldn’t keep track of $40,000 in travel expenses, and then, get this, Trudeau told the country that WE was the only one in Canada that could do a billion dollar job. The only ones! A billion dollars! Peeing myself. cdnpoli

Honest, hard working, tax paying Canadians want to know how the Liberals are spending our taxes!
