The House of Commons finance committee -- which could be holding consultations on an upcoming federal budget that is expected to contain historic deficits and unprecedented spending to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic -- continues to be stuck on the WE Charity affair.

Liberal members of the committee have resumed their filibuster of a Conservative motion that calls on the Speaker of the Commons to rule that redactions made to more than 5,000 pages of government documents on the WE affair amount to a breach of the committee's privileges.

The country's top public servant, Privy Council clerk Ian Shugart, wrote to the committee Tuesday, offering to testify about why the redactions were made. Law clerk Philippe Dufresne, who has said the government redactions did not comply with the committee's order, would also be asked to testify under the Liberal amendment.

Shugart said he agreed to release information that could be an invasion of privacy under the Privacy Act and which would normally be considered cabinet confidences. Liberal member Julie Dzerowicz argued that the objective of the amendment is to break the impasse that has paralyzed the committee and allow it to get on with pre-budget consultations.

TrudeauCorruption continues....... Open Transparent Government thats what he said to get Elected, Nothing but Lies!! TrudeauWorstPMEver liberalLies

When are the loyal liberals gonna wake up that they have something to hide...it’s like hiding your phone from your wife scared something will surface.

As ot should be. Seeing as the people who blacked out the documents have said they will.come.forward and say why.. it makes the NDP and the cons look like the fools they are

😴😴😴😴

We pay these people to look after Canadians. They are all wasting time while collecting pay cheques.

Do your job and ask why, ffs

Corrupt Trudeau will skate on this because he has to 'protect' us from covid1984 doncha know.

And this.

Liberalism is a disease these days.

who cares

WE don’t like that. This was a good tweet.

Good. Never forget WEScandal JustinTrudeau

Whatever they are trying to hide must be hugh. No Government trys this hard to cover up something unless it is shocking. If it proves wrong doing then the committee members are part of the corruption. WE really want to know.

Liberal idiots at it again under the guidance of the clown Trudeau. What a leader, the clown of clowns.😅😂🤡🤡🤡🤡.

Lots they don't want us to see.

Playing this out right now is a grievous error in priorities. Stop wasting the people's time and money by dragging this out during a literal life and death situation. What the ever-lovin fuck is wrong with these people. Isn't it time they do something to help the people?

Trudeau brand protection, the party is screwed with out it!

no one cares

As they should! It’s a faux scandal continually pushed by “responsible” media

So that heartfelt Covid Christmas announcement didn't help?

Well maybe you need to do some real journalistic investigation into the we scandal itself instead of publishing this surface level bullshit. We want to know the truth.

Governments with nothing to hide do not continue to filibuster investigations
