The only way that you can possibly believe that it was the public service and the public service alone who came up with the idea of giving WE Charity a nearly $1-billion sole-sourced contract is if you plug your ears and ignore Thursday’s testimony at the House of Commons finance committee.
Sure, Bardish Chagger, minister for diversity and inclusion and youth, tried to claim it was all the idea of the civil service.
She even named Rachel Wernick — a top bureaucrat at Employment and Social Development Canada — as the person who made the decision to pick WE Charity.
Yet Wernick says WE pitched ministers before she had heard of the idea.
