BREAKING: Federal Liberal government and WE Charity are ending a partnership wherein WE would distribute some $900M in federal student grants this summer. The original decision to outsource work to a 3rd-party with ties to Trudeau& #39;s family was criticized. http://cbc.ca/1.5636332 ">https://cbc.ca/1.5636332...
Justin Trudeau says the WE Charity chose to withdraw from a partnership with the federal government, and the government supports that decision. He says the government will directly deliver a youth volunteer program, but he believes it& #39;s not as well positioned to do so as WE.
Justin Trudeau says he believes the WE charity will be taking some & #39;time to reflect on its next steps.& #39; Asked if he will continue to personally work with the organization, he says he will keep working with a & #39;range& #39; of youth-focused organizations.
Justin Trudeau says the WE situation & #39;unfolded in a way that is truly unfortunate.& #39; He says the government will be reflecting on what went wrong. He says the government will continue to give youth volunteer opportunities, but it will happen & #39;in a slightly different way.& #39;
