Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be put in the parliamentary hot seat over his government's now-cancelled decision to have WE Charity manage a $912-million federal program, as he has just accepted an invitation to testify before the House of Commons finance committee.

"The Prime Minister has accepted the invitation to appear at the Finance Committee," the Prime Minister's Office confirmed in a statement.Trudeau and Finance Minister Bill Morneau have issued apologies for not removing themselves from conversations about granting WE Charity the student volunteer program, given their personal connections to the organization.

Trudeau's mother, brother and wife have all been paid for their involvement in WE Charity events, while the finance minister’s daughter Clare has spoken at WE events, and his daughter Grace is currently employed by WE Charity. Morneau also revealed during his own finance committee testimony that members of his family took two trips in 2017 that WE Charity paid for in part, and that he was on one of those trips as well. He said he repaid on Wednesday the $41,000 that the charity had initially covered related to the trips. He also revealed that his wife has made two $50,000 donations to the organization in recent years.

CTVToronto This needs to be LIVE and PUBLIC

CTVToronto 1. Why. Why. Why is Trudeau still 🇨🇦 criminister 2. Why is Trudeau not held accountable for anything? 3. Why is the 🇨🇦 government so corrupt? legalmafia

Why do People in politics always have to mix the pot.

Prime Minister has Socialist tendencies, think about it. Full on corrupt, wants absolute power, uses a crisis to divert and never answers direct questions, I came to Canada and never thought Canada would have such a leader, of course not as bad but still......

CTVToronto You mean to tell me he hasn’t fired them yet. JustinTrudeau you need to get on that shit.

LIAR!

Good, the opposition parties witch hunt will be over. As a citizen I wanted the money to go out of the door asap for summer volunteer youth program and also disability bill passed. After that opposition can get to WE probe

Corrupt!

Honestly, I’d like someone to interview his wife

CTVToronto Um uh uh um um uh uh uh uh um uh

CTVToronto Lol lets see how this plays out

If he does not take a personal day I highly doubt he will actually answer a question. He is more likely to just recite a favorite recipe.

Get the popcorn ready!!! The Finance Minister never answered one question today, guess we can expect more verbal word playing with the PM!!! Saying sorry is not enough🤦🏽‍♀️

rachaiello There is something interesting. Morneau & fam went on 2 WE paid vacations to the tune of $41,000. Where the hell did they go for that amount and what did they do?

Because he has absolutely nothing to hide. How the CPC and NDP must be quaking now ^_^

CTVToronto Oh my brother testify 🙌🙏

I keep hearing this. Seems like he has “been gonna testify” for a week now. When do we start demanding he does?

make sure the panel on the finance committee consists of CBC CTV and star journalist or all his faves, This will bring back fond memories of last election. Guarantee to make our Leader will feel more comfortable and confident:

CTVToronto But but but. He experienced it differently.

Which one?

CTVToronto ummmm uhhhhh ummmmm learning experience ummmm uhhhhh someone should have told me ummmmm uhhhhhh can we be done now?

Oh boy.

I believe the word 'testify' is really overused here. It's not a court of law, it's a committee.

For years I wondered why the feds wouldn't respond to the need for behavioral health and safety education in our schools. More wellness programs, just what we need! God forbid anyone rock the boat/market/industry of soft programs, while trying to introduce science. Madness. 🙃

the question is will he answer your questions or just dance around. committee has the power to force him to answer like simple yes or no?

You will have a choice of Vinegrette dressing, Ranch, or Thousand Islands.
