The federal Lobbying Commissioner has confirmed it is looking into WE Charity but will not yet say whether a full investigation has been opened, as the embattled organization announced this week it will close Canadian operations. Meanwhile, another federal watchdog is examining whether the charity would have been able to provide its services in both official languages as required by law.
A spokesperson for the Lobbying Commissioner’s office told The Epoch Times it opened a “preliminary assessment” of the charity on Aug. 14, but could not confirm or deny whether that assessment will prompt an investigation.
