Justin Trudeau is facing an ethics probe for a potential conflict of interest over a $900-million government contract with the group.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks with his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, beside him on stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City in September 2017. Members of the Trudeau family have been paid in the past by the WE organization.
But that review was launched prior to revelations the prime minister’s mother, brother and wife have been paid in the past by the WE organization. And Trudeau’s wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, received $1,400 in 2012 for a single appearance that year. “Justin Trudeau has never been paid by WE Charity or ME to WE Social Enterprise for any speeches or any other matters,” WE Charity said.
