The RCMP is “examining” the federal government’s decision to award the now-cancelled Canada Student Service Grant to WE Charity, Global News reports.

On Wednesday, Global asked the national police force “whether the RCMP is investigating the Liberal government’s decision to award a contract to the WE Charity Foundation to administer the $900-million federal student grant program?”
