Two federal cabinet ministers and the country's top public servant will be grilled today about how a charity with close ties to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wound up administering a $912-million student grant program.

The House of Commons ethics committee is scheduled to hear from Youth Minister Bardish Chagger, Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough and Ian Shugart, clerk of the Privy Council.

Chagger was the minister responsible for the program, which has now been abandoned after becoming mired in controversy. The controversy has dogged the government since late June, when it announced an agreement to pay WE Charity up to $43.5 million to administer the grant program. The agreement stipulated that the charity could not make money on the deal.

Morneau wrote a cheque to reimburse the organization for those expenses shortly before testifying two weeks ago at the Commons finance committee, which is also attempting to get to the bottom of the affair.

What a colossal waste of time and money. If CPC_HQ and NDP think this will help their chances in the next election, they better think again. AndrewScheer and theJagmeetSingh are also dragging down their provincial counterparts such as AndreaHorwath and fordnation
