WE Charity has repaid the full $30 million that the WE Charity Foundation received from the federal government under its now-cancelled deal to deliver the Canada Student Service Grant (CSSG), according to one of the organization's Twitter accounts

"As of today, WE Charity has transferred back the full balance of funds for the CSSG to the Government of Canada," according to the tweet sent from the WE Communications account on Thursday evening.

During her testimony before the House ethics committee on August 11, Youth Minister Bardish Chagger said the full amount had yet to be repaid — despite the fact that WE Charity had pulled out from the program on July 9. In the tweet announcing the full repayment, WE Charity also explained that the charity had incurred $5 million in expenses — a cost the organization will now have to swallow. Speaking before the House finance committee on July 28, Craig and Marc Kielburger — the WE Charity founders — said said had begun to incur eligible expenses for the program on May 5, over two months before an actual contribution agreement was signed for the program.

In addition, Trudeau's wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, received a "one-time speaking honorarium" of $1,400 for participating in a youth event in 2012, before Trudeau became leader of the Liberal Party. Both men have apologized for not recusing themselves from the discussions. Trudeau has insisted that he was not in an actual position of conflict during the conversations about the grant — but rather, that he was subject to a perception of conflict.

Shame

Why did they need so much money?

CBCTheNational CBC nationalpost TrueNorthCentre IS ANYONE Going to confirm it is paid pack How do we know it is .....checks and balances anyone? PierrePoilievre is there documentation that its back ? A tweet doesn't count as fact until checked....Anyone 🤔🤔🤔

Says WHO?

Prove it.

It is still a crime!

WE could have received over $150k in Interest over 2 months on that $30Mil. Is that coming back too?....

I don’t believe anything any news media says. In actual fact, whatever they say I believe the opposite!

did they keep the interest?

Canadians want proof, everything connected to the Liberal gov’t has to be taken with a grain of salt. Once we see the proof then Canadians will stop asking WEScandal TrudeauResignNOW ProofOverWords

Thanks for correcting the mistaken robbery of the nation, but a prison would be far too good for such vermin!

Nobody believes that. Nice try tho...

Oh really? Why did they feel compelled to repay - was there wrongdoing here? If so, who has been charged?

Could CTV verify this with formal govt sources? And when you get govt to talk about it, you should ask if WE's claim that they tried to give the $ back sooner but were delayed by govt is true? Oh and ask if WE paid any interest on the $30M taxpayers coin they held for 4 months?

Did they get their bribe money back too

Anyone going to jail?

Great... now where’s the missing billions in infrastructure money cathmckenna .... here’s your opportunity to be open and transparent with Canadians. cdnpoli

hahahahahahahahahahaha you are unbelievable ctv unbelievable

You can’t undo a crime

You don’t apologize or give back money if you did nothing wrong. This is confirmation of guilt.

Never happened.

Now can we get our money back from the Trudeau family?

Did you miss the WE announcement that WE were keeping 5M for expenses? Why don’t you guys do some investigative reporting for once and tell the complete truth?

They are trying to distract from the fact that they should’ve never had the contract in the first place.

That is a picture of a con man!

I’ll believe it when Pierre releases a statement about it.

Suuuuurrrrreeee they did.

For fuck sakes according to one of the organization's Twitter accounts. 'WE Charity has repaid the full $30 million that the WE Charity Foundation received from the federal government ,,,ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S TWITTER ACCOUNTS'

Has.. “...fully repaid full...” eh? Any proof? Or are you just parrots for an organization whose credibility is at zero?

Prove it

Tacit admission. Swear out the warrants.

Receipts....or it didn't happen.

Do you have independent corroboration of this assertion? WeMovement craigkielburger marckielburger.

....'according to one of the organization's Twitter accounts.' Hmmm

Canadians want to hear it directly from Trudeau’s mouth or it didn’t happen!! CTV News is the enemy of Canadians!!

Coming from CTV 'News', it must be accurate. Bahahahahaha 🤣

Cue the trolls and bots .

I thought they got 34 million?

WE chairman of the board said WE don't pay speakers. Yet substitute drama teacher's family got $500,000. Has this been repaid? One of his Mom's speeches was about drinking water. She spoke for 3 minutes. Got $18,000 plus expenses. How is he still in office?

Investigations still to come. This filthy organization and its stench must be thoroughly investigated

Show me the receipts

WHAT HEROS ! Canadians should be so grateful that a questionable charity took months to pay back money that was not theirs and was not Justin’s either to give.

Full on Liberal Propaganda machine at this point. I no longer watch.

Prove it

Documentation please 🤨🇨🇦

What’s the interest on 30 million. Did they repay that as well?

All corruption, all the time

Sorry, we need to review WE’s audited financial statement for confirmation of this pay back. WE has lost the privilege of being believed on face value.

Canadians would like to see the proof. And by the way, WE is still guilty as is the Lib party.

CTV doing clean up on isle nine for Justin . Apparently the liberal shills at CTV are satisfied that the cash has been returned because they saw it in a Twitter post. Canadian journalism at its finest.

BULL-FUCKING SHIT!!!!

Putin poisons people..but we gave money to a charity...what a scandal....

Now seize the rest until the trials are over.

What’s the interest on $30,000,000 for 4 months? Over $1,000,000? That would help a lot of the students that WE & Trudeau were we’re trying to screw!

How about 900 000 000$

Oh that's nice How about I just come over to your offices and start going through everyone's wallets and taking any money and credit cards I find? If you catch me I'll give it back... Promise.

And we should be thankful ?

Source. I wanna see the receipt. Time stamped. Where is the money. You telling me means nothing. You agency is untrustworthy.

Bullshit Let me see a receipt or the minister says this

Oh!!! So they admit guilt...!?!

Gonna need some proof. Show some statements

Well most of it. Did they not keep $5 million bc of expenses occurred?

BS

There wasn't proof they partially repaid it the first time, all we had was the WEasel Brothers' word for it. That didn't stop the Liberal organized crime family CBCNews, and GlobalNews from reporting it as fact. Still no proof and it's still being reported as fact.

Ah......every thing is okay then

The Liberals probably paid it off for them with even more tax dollars.

So what CTV

How much?! $900,000,000

Ojibray Time for a full audit of the Kleptobros and their fake charity scam.

Oh look... Proof it was bullshit from the start. JT... Time to resign bud.

Who told you that? Was it the same corrupt people that committed these scandalous crimes?

According to one of WE Charities twitter accounts, they have repaid the $30M owing to taxpayers The true headline we won’t see.

Has anyone figured out how you get 41k in extras in the middle of nowhere, Ecuador?

After being caught..so brave

Oh they will be suing the government over this....just wait and see!

How many times are you going to say 'full' in a sentence? So excited to prop up Blackface McGroper, you didn't even stop to check your grammar.

That doesn’t change anything. Only intensifies it.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Did Katie Telford tell you to post this? Or rob silver?

Wow you almost sound like WE did a big favor for Canadians... ctv clowns

Finally

Gee - I guess we should be ok with the scandal now!

Also, has Margaret repaid her half million? When does that happen?

“Fully repaid full...” I think the Liberal Party of Canada sent you a directive to try to make sure you said full as often as possible. They must have fully paid you in full. Another bailout coming? Or was the last bribe enough to continue this charade?

With interest? If the rest of us didn’t pay out taxes on time, we would be subject to penalties & interest. They backed out of the deal, they should pay interest & penalties. Another example of laws that apply to the average person but not the Liberal Elites.

Did they have a choice? If they didn't it would be theft... When 50% of a crime team gives back the proceeds of crime they aren't hero's. They're trying to save their rep and stay out of jail. SMH...

CTV’s earlier stayed they received this information from a WE organizers tweet. I would be happier if it came from a more reliable source. Too many lies have already been told by all parties involved.

As opposed to what? keeping the money? Not doing so is called theft

Based on all we know about this group’s financial distress and their clandestine relations with the gov’t, who really takes them for their ‘word’ via Tweet?

Great so we just lost the interest on 30 million dollars for months on end.

They have yet to produce the documents the promised under oath.

It’s funny this isn’t on the news tonight, lots of negative Trump stories nothing on Trudeau scandals. TrudeauMustGo

Good I hope the WE Charity goes under. Both the fake Shell laundering and the original company. When you try to pull a fast one on the tax payer we know where your heart really lies. In your wallet.

I guess they sold some of their real-estate properties to pay back the money.

WHO CARES////// FIRE Justin he's the worst Prime Minister Canada has ever had !!!! GROSS human BEING!!!

BAHAHAHAHA WE PAYS BACK THE MONEY CONS STILL CRYING OVER A FAKE SCANDAL

We're in trouble in Canada, the media is the number one reason.

Sadly the students suffer!

How would we ever know that was true?

Fast forward 2 months and headline will read ' Trudeau bails out we charity for 30 million with tax payers money'

When are they going to release the documents they promised under oath?

Let’s see the receipts and has any interest payments they received been refunded as well...?

Now when are they and their goons going to jail?

Welp! If the Fake News says so.... Bullshit

Now they should hand over the docs they promised to the conservatives.

Everyone involved in this SCAM on taxpayer money should be criminally charged! Trudummy, Chagger, and Morneau included 😡 WEScandal

The kids have returned the cookies to the cookie jar. Will they be looking for a reward?

prove it

Daily reminder: 65 unregistered lobbying incidents by WE Charity, $500k+ to the Trudeau family, free trips for the Morneau's, interference with the public service by PMO staff, lying under oath, prorogation, pre-redacted documents.... WEscandal WEcharity

wannabuyabridge ?

Did anyone tell Pollievre? Maybe he can stop acting like a pigeon now. PigeonPierre

Is there any proof of this or just another liberal lie?

They do have to swallow $5m, but what interest did they make with that money they were holding, and what other back room deals were made we don't yet know about? 🤔 cdnpoli WEscandal

What about the half million that Justin's family was paid from out the taxpayers funded kids charity that he took it from

You expect us to actually believe this? Show us the proof.

Has Government of Canada confirmed this? And there is a lot more to cancellation of agreement with WE, for example how ridiculous the program was going to be funded and operated. Paying volunteers? Really

Oh so we are supposed to just pretend it never happened now? Not a chance.

Did they have to sell a building, or two, in Toronto?

It’s time to replace the whole government and the media industry.

'Government Scandal' you mean right BreakingFakeCTVNews The [ETHICS] Emergency of the federal Liberal Party of Canada.

Gonna need to see the Bank Statement. Lesser than lefties lie all the time.

This does not address the scandal. Yes it's good to pay back the money but it doesn't erase the corruption of the Trudeau government.

So if a bank robber pays backs the money he stole, no harm done?

How about the interest foregone over the time funds were held? Oh sorry we just print and borrow money so rates are at basically zero anyway. Brrrrrrrrr

Great. Now throw those two grifters into jail where they belong.

Did they get a government loan.

Prove it.

That is terrible news.

Now let’s investigate and cancel this $380M PPE contracts and get taxpayers’ money back. Government has already signed another contract with 3M to make N95 masks in Brockville, Ontario.

Not going away

Wow, only took 90 days?

Now it's time for Trudeau to repay his debt to Canada by stepping aside for real leadership. Ethics in government matters.

Prove it.

Poor kids... that American, wannabe insurance broker, minivan-tuition theif really did a number on Canadians with this WE witch hunt

Follow the money. Where did it go? Who got a bonus or a “package”?

Why so long? What did they do with the money in the meantime?

I admire your faithfulness. Like Mr. Brook's spouse in my neighborhood in Gordon Head. She was very supportive of him throughout this life and endeavors. Chapeau!

Audit this scam charity immediately.

WE is Crumbling Down.
