The Opposition Conservatives are pushing forward in their efforts to revive investigations into the WE Charity student grant controversy, but are facing pushback from Liberals in two of the committees looking into the matter.
At the Commons ethics committee on Oct. 8, Liberals delayed a vote to release documents from the speaking organization WE Charity used to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s family. The ethics committee had originally passed a motion in July demanding to see details of all fees WE paid to the Trudeau family, but the prime minister suspended Parliament the day before the records were to be tabled.
