OTTAWA, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is urging the auditor general to conduct an audit of all federal government contracts, grants and contributions awarded to the WE Charity since the 2015 election, following recent revelations of payments made by the WE Charity to family members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“While the ethics commissioner is investigating to determine whether the prime minister has breached the Conflict of Interest Act, Canadians deserve a full accounting of the financial relationship between the government and WE,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “The auditor general needs to follow the money to ensure taxpayers haven’t been bilked.”
