Members of parliament are asking for a RCMP investigation under the criminal code, which covers government fraud
This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The Conservative Party is calling for a criminal investigation into the awarding of the now-cancelled WE Charity contract and will be asking the RCMP to launch the probe, the party said Friday.
“There are sufficient grounds for this matter to be investigated by police,” Mr. Barrett told reporters.He said the Conservatives have not yet sent the request to the RCMP but will be doing so on Friday. That information contradicts previous comments made by the Prime Minister’s Office to The Globe and Mail and a statement from WE Charity to the Canadaland online news outlet. The Prime Minister’s office denied that his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau was ever paid for her participation in events and Canadaland reported that WE Charity previously denied Margaret had been paid for her role in events.
WE Charity was to be paid at least $19.5-million to run the program, with $5-million of that going to other organizations.
