Information & Ethics committee Yes. Premier Wynne attended in the past. We're happy to look into it. We just don't have it off the top of our heads.

Information & Ethics committee You will remember that we've received funding over the course of the organization's history, especially the last 10 years. To answer your question specifically, it was at the provincial level—at times the municipal level, but more so at the provincial level—where we were working with ministries of education to help bring the WE schools and WE Day program directly to the provinces.

Information & Ethics committee As we shared in our opening remarks, first of all, we're heartbroken about what happened 15 years ago. A plaque was changed, very unfortunately. It was one of two plaques for a school that was built in Kenya. Four schools in total were built. Two had plaques and one was, unfortunately, changed.

Marc Kielburger
Information & Ethics committee I appreciate the opportunity. It's been absolutely devastating. We've dedicated 25 years of our lives to helping young people in Canada and around the world. We're certainly not perfect, Mr. Sorbara. We've apologized, and we'll continue to apologize for our errors.

Information & Ethics committee Mr. Chair, the honourable member has incorrect numbers. It's up to 100,000 students, up to $5,000 per student if the maximum number were reached, so 100,000 times $5,000 is $500 million. The remaining amount was up to that amount if all 100,000 students participated in the running of the program.

Information & Ethics committee Mr. Angus, with respect, I don't feel you know how to read the budget properly. It's an administration fee for the program. We said all the money was going to the program, and as a result, we were not going to make a profit, because we were asked by the Government of Canada, in record time, to help—

Information & Ethics committee The program kept on changing at the request of ESDC, and it kept on getting bigger and bigger at the request of the government. This was not being requested by us, it was being requested by ESDC. Secondly, regarding this whole initiative in terms of this $912 million that keeps on being shared, especially by Mr.
