OTTAWA — Youth Minister Bardish Chagger says the WE organization won't manage the federal government's $900-million program to pay students and fresh graduates for volunteer work this summer.


In a statement this morning, Chagger says it's a "mutually agreed upon decision."


Since the charity founded by brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger was announced as the manager of the program last week, the sole-sourced deal has been criticized because of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's close relationship with the group.

OTTAWA — Youth Minister Bardish Chagger says the WE organization won't manage the federal government's $900-million program to pay students and fresh graduates for volunteer work this summer.


In a statement this morning, Chagger says it's a "mutually agreed upon decision."


Since the charity founded by brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger was announced as the manager of the program last week, the sole-sourced deal has been criticized because of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's close relationship with the group.


Trudeau and Chagger have said repeatedly that the recommendation to use WE for the work came from the public service, not politicians.


The volunteer program is to pay up to $5,000 for schooling costs for participants who volunteer the maximum 500 hours, and is aimed at students who can't find work this summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic.


Chagger's statement says volunteers who have already signed up shouldn't be adversely affected, and WE Charity will pay back money it's already received from the federal government.

我最近也很忙,不停地质疑多伦多市政府和安省政府,为什么不关心我们这里民众的健康和安全,为什么一直说公共健康和安全是政府的重中之重,却一直任沥青厂直接对着我们排放污染?我不是媒体人,只是小民一个,不可能造成大的影响,我的不停地发声,也有其他平民关注,我还是得到安慰的。

加油!为了民主和法治,为了平等和人权,为了民众的健康和安全,努力,努力,再努力!加拿大更美好的未来可期待!

Ethics watchdog launches probe of Trudeau over choice of WE Charity to run $900M student grant program

The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner has launched an investigation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over the government's decision to task the WE Charity — which has ties to Trudeau's family — with administering a $900 million summer student grant program.

Trudeau and his government have been under fire since announcing the contract because of the charity's close association with the Trudeau family.

Trudeau and his mother, Margaret, have appeared at a number of WE Day events, while Trudeau's wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, hosts a podcast for the group called "WE Well-being."

Earlier today, the WE Charity and the federal government announced they were ending the partnership.


利益与道德冲突专员已对总理贾斯汀·特鲁多(Justin Trudeau)进行了一项调查,调查该国政府决定委托WE慈善机构(与特鲁多的家人有联系)来管理一项9亿美元的夏季学生资助计划。

自从宣布合同以来,特鲁多及其政府一直受到抨击,因为该慈善机构与特鲁多家族有着密切的联系。

特鲁多和他的母亲玛格丽特(Margaret)参加了许多“WE日”活动,特鲁多的妻子索菲·格里高·特鲁多(SophieGrégoireTrudeau)为该小组主持了一个名为“ WE幸福”的播客。

今天早些时候,WE慈善机构和联邦政府宣布他们将终止伙伴关系。

PM's mother Margaret and brother Alexandre were both paid to speak at WE Charity events

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's mother Margaret and his brother Alexandre have both been paid to appear at WE Charity events

In a response to an inquiry from CBC News, WE Charity has provided details of the speaking fees paid to both individuals for their participation at events between 2016 and 2020.

Both Margaret and Alexandre are registered with the Speakers' Spotlight Bureau, which arranges appearances for clients in exchange for negotiated fees.

Margaret spoke at approximately 28 events and received honoraria amounting to $250,000. Alexandre spoke at eight events and received approximately $32,000.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government have been under fire since announcing the sole-source contract with WE Charity to administer the $900-million Canada Student Service Grant (CSSG) project, because of the charity's association with the Trudeau family.

Trudeau and his mother Margaret have appeared at a number of WE Day events, while Trudeau's wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, hosts a podcast for the group called "WE Well-being."

Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion last week said he would be conducting an investigation into Trudeau's role in the deal.

WE Charity said last week it was pulling out of administering CSSG, citing the ongoing controversy surrounding it and the government's decision to give the sole-source contract to WE. Prime Minister Trudeau said the federal government would take over the program.

Some 35,000 students and recent graduates have applied for the CSSG, which connects them with volunteering opportunities in exchange for payments of between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the number of hours worked.

WE Charity has said in the past that members of the Trudeau family don't receive fees or honoraria when they appear at WE events. Grégoire Trudeau has been reimbursed for travel expenses related to her volunteer work with the organization.

Earlier this week, opposition MPs on the House of Commons finance committee passed two motions meant to pry more information out of the government about the process that led to the decision to task the WE Charity with administering a $900 million federal program.

One motion tasks the committee with interviewing witnesses about the contract, including Clerk of the Privy Council Ian Shugart and Minister of Diversity and Inclusion and Youth Bardish Chagger. The second motion demands that all documents, memos, briefing notes, correspondence and other documents related to the deal with WE Charity be delivered to the committee by Aug. 8.
