Two days after the youth minister spoke with Craig Kielburger, the WE Charity was being considered for the program, documents show

Many of the documents support Trudeau’s version of events.

Two days after Chagger’s chat with Kielburger, the documents show that bureaucrats were talking about WE’s possible involvement. Amitpal Singh, a policy adviser in Morneau’s office, emailed Kovacevic the same day to say he had spoken “with the team at WE this morning.” Nevertheless, the documents make it plain that public servants believed a third party was required to administer the grant program and that WE was the only one that fit the bill.

Political side understood they would be criticized but this was the right thing to do. There will be noise but that’s politics.On May 14, an official at the Privy Council Office informed another bureaucrat that the Prime Minister’s Office “would brief against” the proposed grant program as originally presented to cabinet.Eventually, however, the clerk of the Privy Council, Ian Shugart, recommended to Trudeau that he approve the plan.

That would be nominal. Not in anyway nefarious. cdnpoli

It was Trudeau. TrudeauMustGo

What a joke and embarrassment this is! WE is done and the youth minister Bardish Chagger needs to be re-shuffled out the door!

So...they did their job? Oh no!

Anybody who has EVER been involved in any project knows the person in charge talks to potential service providers to find out if they are even capable of providing the service. It's called due diligence. 🙄

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
