The committee has been stalled for several weeks over a Conservative motion denouncing the redactions as a breach of committee members’ privileges as MPs.
The committee had demanded that the documents be turned over without redactions and that it be left to the parliamentary law clerk, Philippe Dufresne, to decide whether anything needed to be blacked out to maintain personal privacy or cabinet confidences.Article content continued However, Dufresne told the committee that it was not up to the public servants to decide what to redact.
Shugart’s offer to testify could potentially break the impasse that has paralyzed the finance committee for weeks now as Liberals filibuster opposition attempts to reopen investigations into the WE Charity affair. Even so, a Bloc Quebecois MP, who was filling in at the last minute for a colleague on the committee, accidentally voted with the Liberal members to defeat the amended motion. The Bloc blamed a translation problem for the foul-up.
Simple - to hide the truth
To protect the Crime Minister of course - that is ridiculous Trudeau is making a MOCKERY of democracy he works for US the people...!!!!
Most Canadians want the truth liberal_party WeScandal CBCNews CTVNews globalnews
Gonna keep going with the whole “accidentally voted the wrong way ... translation problems” thingy eh 🥴
great election poster
The joke is on the tax payer who the cons conned people into thinking this was the Liberals. Pierre needs to go. 4 committees and 1 ethics office and nothing but con bullshit.
I don't think we need an explanation.
Black. Transparent as the night sky on a moonless night.
No one in the world cares dude. Like Harper's artificial lake this is the sort of Nothing burger that you imagine is important when You've already decided you hate the leading party.
Is that what WSIB calls it without ever going to a public courtroom to check out the original? I'm no lawyer but staff on up the pyramid are making a killing, putting out deemed to poverty disabled injured workers. Like railroad history lessons on who gets thrown in the bush.
Most Canadians already know the WE documents were heavily redacted to hide Trudeau Liberal corruption. Canadians don’t need to hear even more lies from a paid off public servant who wants to keep their overpaid public job. cdnpoli
Well that's nice but I think the law clerk had something to say about that.
These documents contain very incriminating Iformation and if they're never released...what we have is a dictatorship and parliamentary committees are not necessary. So just shut the while thing down Justin . Do it and shows us your true colours.
Might as well shut down parliament for good if this is the new normal.
There is an explanation? WEScandal
Seems bizarre that lots of public servants have seen what has been redacted but not elected officials...
Might as well have printed off black sheets of paper...absolutely ridiculous
Corruption
Liberals are going to need more toner!
That's not a redaction that's a blackout
Trudeau trying to make Biden look like an amateur.
That is Trudeau’s definition of transparency?
Could we have Puglaas do the cross-exam during the testimony?
Redacted 🤣🤣🤣. That’s redacted alright!
Nah... we’ll just take the unredacted documents, thank you...
Hopefully he's studying his predecessor's disastrous committee appearance.
That should be Mr. Poilievre's profile pic.
Not up to him or Public servants to redact these docs.
is it another Wernick family member?
This is turning into Canada's Benghazi. Committee after committee, investigation after investigation, turns up nothing. But the CPC won't let it go.
They asked Trudeau for his blend of blackface paint to redact the documents personally
Duh
One word explanation. Corruption.
