Morneau has apologized for not recusing himself from the cabinet discussions and vote on the agreement, given his daughters have ties to the organization.
He will be the latest cabinet minister to be grilled over the aborted deal that would have seen WE receive more than $43.5 million to oversee a program with a budget of up to $912 million. Morneau, like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is being investigated by the federal ethics watchdog for possible violations of conflict of interest rules.
On Tuesday, Canada's top bureaucrat said he couldn't see not having the finance minister and prime minister involved in discussions about a program as big in scope and price as the Canada Student Service Grant program. The program proposed paying students up to $5,000 toward education costs based on the number of hours they volunteer.
Nothing to see here ....
wonder if he can tell the truth after being so close to mr. tr
The WE phony probe and investigation!!! Another CONservative tactic to hoodwink Canadians into accepting CON Americanization with the WILLING assistance of what used to be the people party!
Billy Porno will lie through his teeth.
Second-most corrupt official, after Trudeau.
But will he answer questions honestly and with transparency and integrity? Would be shocked but here is hoping!
Brace yourself for non-answers and strictly vague responses, defections as per the PMO script.
Aka co-conspirator.
Thanks for the warning.. mute button pre activated for Andy's faux outrage speech.
