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.
this is what tax payers are supposed to do , fund Trudeaus charities , pay for his flights and treat Trudeau as royalty.
So, the agreement was May 5 , payment end of June. Very misleading headline. Do better, Globe
Careful or JustinTrudeau will rescind his $600M bribe. Tow the party line or else! TrudeauworstPMever
However, just can’t seem to help the Oil industry within 2.5 months of announcing that liquidity/loans were on the way “within hours or days.” Great job Ottawa, Bill_Morneau should be held accountable for blowing up Canada’s balance sheet. Moron
In a time that we all need some good news, something to feel good about, instead we see the rich get richer and the priveledged few look after their friends. Very disappointed in this Government.
PM announced program, WE is only choice. WE says PMO called. Opposition start questions. WE changes story, wasn’t PMO. $920M program, WE gets $43M. No not $43M its 19.5M. more questions. WE pulls out. WE didn’t pay PM’s family. WE did pay Pm family. Now $500M,WE got $43M upfront
Someone is fibbing?
This is looking more like a bail-out!
Then there’s this👇👇
And on the same day Canadians learn Trudeau paid WE $30 million of the contract in early May BardishKW appears on P&P and states WE did not receive. BardishKW are you a complcit partner in Trudeau's corruption or simply not in the know? Neither looks good on you.
It takes how long to get your tax refund? And if you're late paying tax, how how much interest do you paying you owe anything? Yet these guys get 33 fucking million in days.
Remember when all those partisan election influencers were paid in advance? LPC pays up front like they’re buying sex. Probably a metaphor here somewhere.
It PAYS to be Trudeau’s FRIEND and the employ his FAMILY...!!!!!
These Kielburger soy boys have some explaining to do... WEscandal TrudeauCorruption
Why are we paying in advance for services? The government never does that.
They had a mortgage payment due. This shit stinks to high heaven. TrudeauCrimeMinister
Was the $33 million recovered after criminal deal was exposed or did the Meatburgers get to move it to an offshore bank account before it could be returned. Asking for a friend who works hard 24/7 and has to pay taxes again this year on his tax returns.
*WE Charity Foundation We were told the contract was for $19 million and would increase if they met goals. Why would the Liberals give $11 million more than the initial contract.
WE....give Canada’s money back! TrudeauCorruption LiberalCorruption TrudeauLies LiberalLies TrudeauWorstPM RCMPinvestigate
This is actually unreal.
'Ottawa' Liberal dictators more like.
So have we gotten our money back yet?
Crooks. Cronyism at its finest!
Did they refund?
RobertFife That seems unusual to pay a contractor before the work is even started.
Interesting how Fife leaves out O’Toole’s involvement with WE. And MacKay’s. And ....
Years ago, a young 14 yr old boy named Chris sat on a panel of old stagnant men bursting with enthusiasm for helping 3rd world kids. I would have 💯 percent supported that kid's dreams. That is now WE. Can't speak to the rest but he had noble goals. End of story.
Thanks for paying WE debts Trudeau with our $$$!! WEscam WEscandal WEcharity
RobertFife Having worked with the fed on procurement for contracts, I can tell you from experience, they NEVER pay that quickly.
I couldn’t give a toss about your polictical leanings - this level of arrogance when dealing with public funds shouldn’t be forgiven. cdnpoli WEscam WEscandal
This whole deal is corruption to the highest degree. Trudeau a total disgrace and a criminal.
Government never pays bills that fast unless driven to do so.
basia_porter As a CPA, I can assure you, it is not “normal” to pay 75% of contract up front to a shell corporation with no assets and no people.
In a democracy, it’s important that people see that the principle of the law applying equally to all is not just spoken of but practiced. An RCMP investigation into the WE scandal is needed right now.
Was that legal?
Here boys 😉
Hey not a bad racket eh? Sole source contract frontloaded with a $33m payout for admin fees. Cant believe these guys almost went under too. Miraculous timing for the We Charity Foundation Laundrymat.
Funny how things move so fast when it’s friends of the LPC and Trudeau. It’s almost like it was in the works before it was even announced. 🧐
I would like to know if any of the WE corporations applied for CEBA and/or CEWS also PierrePoilievre AndrewScheer ErinOTooleMP brianlilley
They gave it to the real estate holding portion of WE who had zero experience in running any kind of children's program but had HUGE mortgage payment due for real estate they purchased in Toronto. Trudeau gave them $33 million while saying all they would get is $19 million. LIES.
What a scam.
From my long long experience in non profit world I would say this is normal . They would need funds for program. I would ask you to speak to a variety of non profits and see if it is unusual to receive the administration fees with program announcement and commencement .
And I’ve been waiting almost 3 years for my paltry disability claim with Veterans Affairs....oh well, what’s another year lol.
Here, I fixed your headline for you: *Canadian Taxpayers* paid WE Charity $33-million plus interest in borrowed money for administration fees before grant contract was cancelled cdnpoli WEscandal
Oh please only $33M, thats Trudeau's vacation money per trip!
A week for their payments and seniors waited almost 3 and disabled people are still waiting to find out when the $600 just announced will be released, but they got their money in a week. Must be nice to have corrupt friends
So?
I won't be surprised to learn that strippers and midgets were involved too.
Sounds like WE was desperately in need of that money 👀🤔. cdnpoli WEscandal WECharity
