The Trudeau Liberals and WE Charity have parted ways over the management of a $900-million federal program to pay students and fresh graduates for volunteer work this summer, days after the prime minister himself called the organization the only option for success.
Instead, public servants will administer the pandemic-related grants, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday.
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 Trudeau's close relationship with the group. He, his wife and his mother have all been involved in WE events and activities.
