WE Charity contract came into effect May 5, Ottawa paid most administration fees within week of announcing program

The contract was signed on June 23, but came into effect on May 5, 2020.The arrangement, called a contribution agreement, also plans for much less total spending that the government publicly announced for the program when it was first mentioned by Mr. Trudeau on April 22 and which is published on the federal government’s website.

“The WE organization is not taking any funds from the pre-work for the administration of this program,” the statement said. The deal was structured so that WE would receive more money earlier in the program’s life, as it bore the startup costs. WE was to receive up to $19.5 million for the first 20,000, up to $13.5 million for the second 20,000, and $10.5 million for the final 60,000.
