Information & Ethics committee  I'm here today to speak for and on behalf of this little guy right here. This is Wesley Cowan. When I talk today, I hope you will receive what I say as the words of a dad who's here to speak on behalf of his son. I am the proud father of Wesley Cowan, the little boy whose April

Information & Ethics committee  That was the starting point to doing a lot of investigation on my part. Forgive me.... Of all that I read in the Bloomberg article, that was the most important touchpoint for me to investigate. I received, not long after the article, photos that were taken, I presume within r

Information & Ethics committee  Sorry.

Information & Ethics committee  I sent Craig an email after this discovery and let him have it pretty good. I told him that I had pretty clear and solid evidence. He responded a couple of times by email, and I felt a kind of a bit of a defensive tone in the emails. He then passed me off up to board member David

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you. This is out there on my TED Talk, so I'll be brief. In the days after we lost Wesley, we saw Craig Kielburger on The Oprah Winfrey Show. It was at a time when I was being monitored. Nobody would leave me because they were afraid I'd harm myself, frankly. My partner G

Information & Ethics committee  Well, it's kind of like I said. It gave me the enormous blessing of engaging angels in my communities that I served as a journalist and of knowing that people are good and that when the chips are down, people forget differences of religion, politics and sexuality and all of that,

Information & Ethics committee  Would I recommend WE Charity and Free the Children?

Information & Ethics committee  You know, that's the sad thing about this for me and all the kids who sat in those stadium events. Do you feel burned enough that you never give again? Do you feel burned enough that you just distrust activities overseas and across borders, and just get involved in your own commu

Information & Ethics committee  It's that I get to have conversations with him at night when my eyes are closed and say, “You can see me, but you can also see the kids in Kenya. Send them a little rain. Send them a little sunshine, and maybe help the one who feels bullied at the back of the classroom to feel co

Information & Ethics committee  I have fulfilled the obligations of the request to be here, and I hope that others who donated, who are in power to clear things up, will see a father who did not want to be here. You know, my son's birthday is coming up. And six weeks after that is the day he left us. This is

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you for the question. I'm a journalist, so obviously I look at how stories are laid out and how stories are told. I felt like it was a softball. I felt like it gave viewers no sense of how much money has been raised last year, the year before or in the last 10 or 15 years

Information & Ethics committee  If the question is whether I had any contracts, signed agreements or written agreements, then the answer is no.

Information & Ethics committee  I'm a big believer in line-by-line transparency, line-by-line accounting—when the money came in, what the money was intended to do, what agreements were tied to the money that came in and whether those agreements were met. It's just a matter of good faith, right? I don't know C

Information & Ethics committee  I have to be honest with you. When I left my conversation with Craig Kielburger, until hearing from all of you to appear, I had become confused enough that I just wanted to put it away. That said, to answer your question about whether there is a pattern of duplicitous relations

Information & Ethics committee  I think David Stillman, board member Stillman, left the conversation feeling as though we had left amicably, but I felt that the conversation was like engaging with a dog barking at the mouth of a dark cave. I couldn't get a word in edgewise, and that dog didn't want me to go int
