Mr. Speaker, PSAC National President Chris Aylward said, “[The Prime Minister's] claim that WE Charity is the ‘only one’ that can administer the new grant program is not only factually wrong, it's also insulting to our members.”
Charity Intelligence, which ranks charities across Canada, says that WE Charity's financial filings are not current, and this contract alone is at least four times higher than its net administrative expenses from over the last number of years. It is also offside with its banking obligations.
Could the Prime Minister indicate to this committee today how he could have possibly been so badly misled by his officials as to grant this lucrative contract to his friend?
