Yves-François Blanchet Comments on WE Charity Controversy
At a news conference on Parliament Hill, Yves-François Blanchet, the leader of the Bloc Québécois, comments on the ongoing controversy surrounding the federal government’s now-cancelled contract with WE Charity. On July 13, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized for not recusing himself from cabinet discussions concerning the contract to administer a $900-million federal grants program for student volunteers. The apology followed revelations that the prime minister’s mother and brother had been paid for speaking engagements at events hosted by WE Charity. (July 14, 2020)
