SOLE-SOURCED CONTRACTS TO LIBERAL FRIENDS

  Trudeau’s argument that WE charity was the only possible option didn’t convince opposition parties. On Sunday, the Conservatives wrote to the Auditor General of Canada asking her to dive into the decision to outsource the CSSG to WE Charity. Angus said the NDP was planning to do the same.
   “We know the Prime Minister is not afraid of influencing decisions to benefit his friends. At this point, the Prime Minister is beyond the benefit of the doubt and must come clean about his involvement in awarding this $900 million contract to WE,” said Michael Barrett, the Conservative ethics critic, in an email to the Post on Monday. “The Liberals must immediately release the contract for this partnership and tell Canadians why their own government officials are unable to administer this program.”
   Conacher said he plans on filing a complaint to the federal Ethics Commissioner, arguing that Trudeau put himself in conflict of interest simply by announcing that WE Charity would administer the CSSG.
