The Liberals handed more than 5,000 pages about the decision to the committee over the weekend, but it isn’t clear when they will be released to members as parliamentary lawyers are going through them to prevent the release of protected information.Committee members are hoping the documents will shed light on the discussions that led to the decision to have WE run the Canada Student Services Grant, before the deal was cancelled in early July.
Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough and Small Business Minister Mary Ng are expected to appear before the committee on Wednesday to discuss the grant program, which promised to pay students up to $5,000 for volunteering. Trudeau has apologized for not recusing himself from cabinet discussions about the WE deal given his family’s relationship with the charity, but has denied any wrongdoing.

But what was shredded
77BlueJays Let the Liberal party apologists begin...but Harper did this, but Scheer did this blah blah blah
You are a newspaper, why does this sound like oposition spin? Do your advertisers put you up to this, or is this just editorial board oppo? Should everyone taking poli-sci be afraid of you?
'The Liberals' did not 'turn over' anything. The Government of Canada provided the Finance Committee with the documents it requested. Why the spin?
Noteworthy: Federal Public Servants are responsible for providing value for money and demonstrating sound stewardship in program delivery. Public servants, not elected-officials (politicians), design and deliver public sector policy, programs and services.
I don’t know why all criminals aren’t just asked to approve of produced evidence🙄
And millions of other pages were shredded.
acoyne Are they written in crayon?
Surely the cabinet paper recommending this isn't thousands of pages? Is this creating a forest to hide some trees?
acoyne Are the pages schreded !!
Trudeau - lberals - aswholes......all one in the dsme
WErbored. Please move on.
Let's rid ourselves of this entitled weasel and his corrupt Liberal cohorts. A satisfactory immediate step would be if Trudeau and Morneau simply resigned or were turfed by the party.
I would be more concerned about the documents the Liberals did not disclose.
nspector4 May the funfest begin...
At this point most Canadians don't believe what the Liberals say anymore. Truth isn't in their vocabulary.
Were they recently and hastily written?
No surprise That much documentation to wade through gives them time to formulate a plan with their friends in MSM who will happily sell out the a Canadian public for either their own partisan reasons or their part of the media bribe.
All of the documents? All of them?
nspector4 ... Corrupt G&M helping the corrupt Liberals muddy the waters.
Now write about UPCorruption . This being one of many examples
How heavy are the redactions? For the lefties, they black line thru relevant sections.
How many thousands of pages did they destroy first?
*Liberals remove incriminating evidence from thousands of pages on WE scandal* FTFY
How can people who have supported the Liberals - accept the various actions of this current govt? Stand alone on pure value, virtue and ethnicity (without referring to any past govts). Seriously - do you accept all things done?
Maybe you would like to report on the UCP giving a mask contract to a donor that outsources production to Mexico, rather than an Alberta company that already has the masks in stock. I won't hold my breath - you don't report on ACTUAL corruption.
