Privy Council Clerk Ian Shugart made the comment during testimony Tuesday morning before the House of Commons finance committee.
"There is absolutely no evidence, no suggestion in anything that I have reviewed that would suggest the prime minister had any interaction with the WE Charity in relation to this program," Shugart said.Trudeau is expected in the House of Commons this afternoon, with the opposition eager to press him further on how his cabinet reached the decision to approve the deal.
MPs want Trudeau to appear before the Commons committee, but it is unclear whether he will accept the invitation. "To deal with all these concerns, not having a job, the future, a pandemic, people need to have confidence in their government," Singh told a morning news conference. Federal officials were already talking about ways to help students unable to work this summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic, intending to announce something by mid-May. The notion WE could be involved came up in conversations between the Finance Department and Employment and Social Development Canada, which oversees student-related programs.
The so called 'non partisan' privy council is the biggest scam going. Remember that sanctimonious low life Wernick at the SNC Lavelin justice committee? What a scam.
Not great at running the country, not great with budgeting, not great at foreign affairs, but when it comes to hiding evidence they have some of the best in the business.
RayburnBev Yawn. Is this fake scandal over yet ?
He’s so Corrupt !!
No rules for a dictator.
Told ya
Chagall was trying to help maybe he should have shows that charity but didn't do anything wrong there's no corruption the money was returned to get over this
Yeah no fucking shit. This whole thing was caused by the CPC_HQ and YOU, the conservative media!! CBCNews cdnmedia cdnpoli 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
So at the end of the day, CPC and NDP - trying to make the “biggest political scandal in Canadian history” , actually showed more about their own ethics: Political agendas override the best interests of Canadians. Duly noted.
Andy! Apologies coming all round for misleading us again?
Well PCO you shouldn’t have shredded the evidence
The reason CTV is so pro Liberals is to appeal to the young female demographic.
Didn't the last privy Council clerk take a fall for Trudeau during SNC Lavilan? What will the reward be for this one to take the fall?
More hard hitting journalism from CTV.
Paid to lie.
Great cover-up. Take your cash and close your eyes. mediawhores
So will your network stop speaking about this 24/7? And stop with the CPC viewpoints.
Did you all hear that? CPC_HQ theJagmeetSingh
Crook
The fact that these 'smart' guys were on a room discussing who to give almost a Billion dollars to and not ONE of them thought this might be a conflict of interest (because of their connections to recipient) makes me wonder how good they are at making smart decisions
The past equals the future. Using the pandemic to power grab and pay off his elitist globaList friends and family. Follow the money!
JeffreyLuscombe WE have no evidence of corruption. WE need to move on to more important business in terms of the health and safety of our country.
I call bullshit again and again and again 💩💩💩💩
We stand behind our corrupt PM would say the brainwashed lunatics responsible for those unprecedented events. It's only his third ethic violation he deserves to be forgiven.. Harper blablabla....
That’s not the point. Is it?
Actually I'm going to forget to pay my taxes, I'll just say I'm sorry,I'm sure I'll be forgiven with no consequence, just following PMs example, 2 guilty findings in ethics,blackface,missing millions in infrastructure, SNC& Norman case and now WE charity scandal, just say sorry
Facts don't matter. The opposition will continue to scream but won't force an election, and the news media will still pretend this is an actual story.
My head almost exploded when I read your headline. You're actually being factual
CTV reporting and they think no conflict .
Wouldn't be surprised since the PCO supports the P.M. We need to have an independent investigation on this scandal!
Of course not
Lier
Oh course not! He’s a liar and gets away with it!
CTV is backing him again.
Wait until they're audited. I'm sure you will see money going to the Trudeau foundation and liberal campaigns. Meanwhile, I'll just keep waiting for my claim from being blown up in Afghanistan. (Currently on month 26) How long did it take to put the WE deal together?
Talking to them before!?!?!? He has direct family ties to this charity, multiple family members have been paid! He probably has been too! And there’s no conflict of interest!?!? Now you’re treating Canadians like they’re fucking dumb. NO
Just co-incidence that his wife, his mother, his brother… go large speaking fees from this “charity”. That’s where the donations go?
Some how it doesn’t add up. When his wife mother brother all paid for speaking and he doesn’t talk to the we organization. Than out of the blue this program magically appears. How blind blonde live under rocks are your readers. How can you possibly believe that yourself.
Time to clean house in Ottawa with the heavily weighted Liberal civil servants.
Canada stood with PM Trudeau because He has their trust. Rightfully so.
Don't believe a word the partisan clerk says
“Liberal minister Bardish Chagger met with WE Charity days before student program was announced by Trudeau” TheStar. Trudeau wouldn’t go himself that’s why he sent one of his puppets.
Time to fire the PCO Clerk.
Because you are paid to say this
I believe you actually have to look if you want to find something
They tried and failed.
Trying to keep your bribe money coming in ehh CBCNews he is deep in it up to his knees money laundering with WE
Singh and Scheer owe the PM an apology. And Canada. cdnpoli
Well that didn’t go as planned for the CPC-NDP Coalition Party!
Let's take this guy's advice and find out.
Of course he didn’t. He sent one of his cronies (Bardish Chaggar) to meet with them the week before. This way he could blame her for the issue if it went sideways, which it has. You think that primadonna is going to admit wrong doing? Think again!
Chagger spoke to WE a week before the proposal. Do you think she kept it a secret from the PM?
Conservatives lose again.
Bardish Chagger admitted to meeting with WE before the deal was awarded. They weren't discussing where to get the best samosa. I know it's hard to believe, but she is a cabinet minister.
Let me guess their next line - “ just because there’s no evidence, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. He’s just good at covering it up. Trudeau, bad man. Blah,blah,blah. “🤦♀️🤦♀️
If it was conservative I guarantee Would not drop it and keep pushing it
You can’t trust anything the PMO says. They are cronies of Trudeau that do his bidding. Since Trudeau lies about issues he is influencing, so do the PMO.
The Trudeau Liberals are corrupt, not stupid. Of course they disposed of all of the evidence so the clerk could honestly say there is no evidence.
The Liberal Propaganda machine is working today even though Justin Trudeau isn't
$600 million buys a lot of Bullshit from the media. Does anybody really think he didn’t brag to the Kielburgers’ about the plan seeing as they already had a proposal in hand? JustinTrudeau Bill_Morneau PierrePoilievre
It must be very disheartening for the Conservatives, NDP and the media who were absolutely drooling at the prospect of a 'gotcha' moment. Now both parties have to start looking for dirt all over again! They'll never have time to form policy at this rate!
Ah that explains why he's is avoiding all questions, totally makes sense propaganda bot.
What a laughable headline 🤣
QAnus Ain't Gonna Like That
Already figured that 🙄
No evidence If he didn’t then he should have no problem testifying under oath to that...
Perhaps Don could do a story on that .
There wasn't any evidence of Trump Russia collusion but you ran with that for 4 fucking years.
I call BS
Well well finally the truth is being told.
Well well,,took a day off to make this up.
It feels like SNC all over again!
Look harder
TrudeauCorruption
WE charity chairman said “the prime minister called us directly.”
Everyone is crooked in politics, everyone ! You may joking with good intentions but you’ll be dragged to the gutter very quickly.
And CTV is good with this BS? Trudeau lies all the time for Christ sakes. !! CTV=FAKENEWS
He wouldn't have to 'meet'. By the looks at how close WE and the TrudeauCrimeFamily are, im sure it was over a beer or a phone call. TrudeauCorruption
He contacted the head via personal phone etc no need to contact tru channels they have each otherd personal numbers
So why did he apologize?
Lying POS, the whole party is corrupt. Anyone who isn’t is fired.
Hi alex great to be on the show... I'll take 'something that is complete and utter bullshit for 1 billion dollars'
Think the Ethics Commissioner can investigate that one.
The intelligent 🇨🇦‘s already believed that. It’s u low life, rightwing, news org’s that r daft! Have u see a poll lately? Barking up the wrong tree! canpoli
I mean his mom is a big supporter of WE so it’s only natural that he would be.
What interview were you reporting on...he did say that it was inevitable that Trudeau and Morneau would HAVE had contact. You need to watch it over...Now it has to be proven. TrudeauworstPMever
BS!!
Welp..,good enough for me than. Wrap it up boys.
How did his mother and brother get those lucrative contracts. Nobody would pay them to speak or even listen to them without high expectations.
Trudeau was wrong not to recuse. Another error in judgment. He’s apologized. Let’s move on!! There are much more serious issues/topics to deal with.
Pardon me while I get my shocked face mask. Again.
The media is coming to the Liberals aid . The story will be shut down completely within the month. cdnpoli
🇨🇦 Banana Republic 🇨🇦 🪱🍌💲🪱🍌💲🪱🍌💲🪱🍌💲🪱🍌💲 Well Then It Must be True LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL WEscandal TrudeauCrimeMinister TeamTrainWreck 🔥 MagicKingdom PeterPanPM 🤡🧦🎈❄️👀🤪

Sure, ya, OK, That’s it, Yep !
Bahahaha
Really so his mother and brother pocketing hundreds of thousands was just because they were goo speakers? Who wrote this garbage telfordk ?
Somehow no other news station is reporting this 🤔
'A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven.' Jean Chretien
LOL!!
Bull shit
Why would they need contact They know the routine by now. The steps are clear. The parts played by each party are well rehearsed. WE gets awarded a $43 million payment to administer the dream contact for any charity and when the time comes during the next campaign.Payback
If you believe that there is a swamp in Ottawa.
More Liberal lies, I knew the corrupt Liberal government would hide the TrudeauCorruption.
Except the word of its leader? CTV are trudeau cheerleaders.
Told yas
Bullshit
CTV your government approved bailout cheque is in the mail for your pandering.
Doubtful.
I call
Of course there isn’t but don’t let facts get in the way of your agenda of misinformation and bigotry there die hard Albertan conservatives.
Wow the media is scared their cash cow is taking a licking for his corruption...
Bullish-t!
Shift-Delete
It time to Mr. Singh to rethink his position in all this, he is not helping the NDP at all. He making them partners in crime with the Liberal government.
Ivalera7 Stupidest non scandal of the century. Can we get back to dealing with the global pandemic now please.
Lol... a clerk said it. Do an actual investigation before reporting.
And we believe that, don't we?
Yeah sure, why would anyone believe this leftist bs?
Ivalera7 Lol of course they will say that. 🤦♀️
Why didn't the pco investigate we? Pco suggested a bid for program. Why didn't the minister responsible sign off? Pco said he didnt deal with this, why. A billion dollar program and he stayed out of it.
Evidence has no bearing. Fact is he did and took funds from. Stop perpetuating a narrative no one wants hear
Any idiot can see all kinds of contact between him his family and WE for the past years. His statement is not believable.
There's some evidence....
Really because his hole f**king families involved obviously he's a GREASY BASTARD!!
His wife literally works for them
ASK for all emails, texts, phone records from PMO.
“he did nothing wrong” says the blind citizen that doesn’t see anything slightly suspicious in a government that outsourced a 900M job which they have an entire agency to perform. pretty sad.
Oh BULLSHIT!
ya but, what about Scheer trying to look like a leader?
Bookmarked for future, for when this testimony is blown out of the water
Bull shit . CTV CBC will cover his ass . And the RCMP
Probably not good enough for the opposition who want to see a 'smoking gun' instead of an honest answer.
Hope he feels better after those 'personal' days 🙄
And we all know how trustworthy the former clerk Wernick was.
ya right, bet CTV reporters were tripping over one another to put this news out..sorry don't believe it
🤣🤣🤣 PressTitutes u think PCO will provide evidence now? GTFO idiots! Nice try to distract from TrudeauCorruption! Why would coward Trudeau use the normal channels if it was going to b an unlawful act Decent journos would be looking for evidence! CDNpoli TrudeauMustGo
Cough..cough..bullshit ( under my breath of course)
Bullshit !!
Well get him to testify about that
No evidence “before deal was awarded”. Certainly does not mean there had been no contact up to that point...correct me if I am wrong, but did he not allude to the fact that Trudeau possibly was speaking with them?
DefundtheMEDIA
What about the PMO?
Nice coverup protecting this arse
ScumMedia CTV will do its very best to cover for the corrupt Lib tyranny. Collaborator Media.
No shit.... this was a witch hunt from the start from a minivan thief
LOL of course! you fake and liar medias will cover him for his evident corruption. I don't believe any of this.
Here come the cry babies
This is absolute horse shit,
Lack of evidence doesn’t prove anything. This needs to investigated. You can’t use the taxpayers money and have no transparency whatsoever.
The PCO is not going to have the answer to that question, the PM and his office need to be asked that under oath as well as Bill Morneau. All the PCO can talk about is what happened in his department.
Truth is Trudeau was part of the decision to award the contract to WE charity
What about the staff in PMO ? What about Ministers that forget in last weeks committee about discussions with 'WE' ? What about Finance Ministers staff & 'WE' ?
Will their phone records be subpoenaed soon? TrudeauCorruption
Says the PrivyCouncilCA Clerk
Of course not. Move on.
PCO Clerk: I have to cover and lie for Trudeau. My job depends on it. Wernick warned me because it happened to him.
F*ck the fake news
You say that as if evidence mattered even a little bit to the people screaming for blood. The appearance of a scandal is more than enough for people looking for anything to shout at Trudeau about.
No evidence has.. 🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤭🤭 But 'The People' has.. LOTS.. never forget that!
of course lol
Just everybody else.
The Liberals are corrupt and talk a good game, but get nothing done. The Conservatives are corrupt, economically inept, and want to drag this country backwards. Maybe it's time we considered a third option.
Poor, poor Chagger.
Ctv quick to call this one. Ctv wrong about almost EVERYTHING political. Anything to protect the useless drama teacher
More bullshit from mainstream media fake news
lack of evidence doesn't mean there is none.
b bb bWahahahahahahahahaah
No evidence does not equate the event did not happen. As a matter of fact coverup sounds more likely.
