From the Most Corrupt, Stupid and Impossibly Foul Government Ever Re-Elected

The federal Conservatives are calling on a speaking agency through which WE Charity paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s family to hand over all documents about the arrangements.

The request is contained in a letter from Conservative ethics critic Michael Barrett to Speakers’ Spotlight on Thursday and comes amid a brewing battle over the blacking out of thousands of other WE-related documents released by Trudeau last week.

In his letter to Speakers’ Spotlight, Barrett notes the agency was first asked by the House of Commons ethics committee to produce the documents last month.

The initial deadline was July 29 for all records pertaining to speaking appearances by Trudeau, his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, mother Margaret Trudeau and brother Alexandre Trudeau at different WE events dating back to October 2008.

The agency subsequently asked for an extension and the committee agreed to a new date of Aug. 19. Trudeau prorogued Parliament one day before that new deadline, ending the committee investigations that were underway into the WE controversy.

Parliament is set to return Sept. 23 with a new speech from the throne.

A non-partisan parliamentary official is pushing back against the decision by several federal departments to submit thousands of pages of documents to a House of Commons committee with redactions already made, saying it’s not up to the government to black out parts of the tabled documents.

One of the last acts of Parliament allowed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau before ordering it prorogued was for 5,000 pages of documents to be distributed to members of the Commons finance committee, containing correspondence about the Liberal government’s decision to grant WE Charity a controversial agreement to administer the $500-million Canada Student Service Grant (CSSG). 

In a letter obtained by iPolitics, Philippe Dufresne, the law clerk and parliamentary counsel for the House of Commons, said the Commons and its committees are the appropriate authority to determine acceptable reasons for withholding the documents.

“As my office has not been given the opportunity to see the un-redacted documents, we are not able to confirm whether those redactions are consistent with the order of the committee,” he wrote to committee clerk David Gagnon in a letter dated Aug. 18.

The Commons finance committee on July 7 adopted a motion calling for any documents between the government and WE Charity — or from senior officials for cabinet ministers regarding the CSSG from March 2020 — be provided to the committee no later than Aug. 8. The motion stipulated that any redactions be made specifically by the Office of the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel of the House of Commons.

Information appropriate for redaction includes that which would protect the privacy of Canadian citizens and permanent residents whose names and personal information may be included in the documents, as well as public servants who helped craft the CSSG program.

In his letter, Dufresne said the clerk of the Privy Council, the deputy minister of the Department of Finance, the deputy and the senior associate deputy ministers of Employment and Social Development of Canada, the deputy minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, and the Secretary of the Treasury Board  (TBS) provided the committee with documents for their respective departments between Aug. 9 and Aug. 17. 

The documents contained letters from each department stating that redactions had been made: to protect cabinet confidence in accordance with the motion; to protect personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act; and to protect third-party information and information on the vulnerability of their computer or communication systems, or methods.

In his response, Dufresne said Commons committees have the power to order the production of records, which supersedes the powers of the statutory obligations of the departments.

 

What third party information could there be?

No wonder the Americans don't trust us.

The WE scandal isn't the only pool of slime coming from the Liberal Party and its mincing puppet-head:

B.C. MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay is facing criticism after claiming that Canadians should be disturbed by the “closeness” between Canada’s finance minister and George Soros, an internationally known philanthropist who is frequently mentioned in far-right and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

Prove her wrong. Any time someone cries about these things, it only makes everyone more interested.

Marwan Tabbara, an Ontario MP facing assault and break and enter charges, made a short appearance in court on Thursday, where his case was adjourned to next month.

Tabbara, 36, was charged with two counts of assault, one count of break and enter and commit an indictable offence, and one count of criminal harassment on April 10.

Walk away, Derek. Not from that b!#ch, Pam Damoff, but from the Tories who clearly don't deserve you:

You’ve probably heard by now that Pam Damoff, Liberal Member of Parliament for Oakville North—Burlington posted a letter this week urging our new leader Erin O’Toole to eject me from the CPC caucus.

That’s right, a Liberal MP publicly briefed the newly minted Conservative leader on what he should do with his caucus. ...

Pam Damoff is typical of the Liberals in her promotion of “diversity”, which never includes diversity of opinion. In 2017, Damoff was instrumental in barring Conservative MP Rachael Harder from chairing the House of Commons Committee on the Status of Women because of Harder’s pro-life views.

Interestingly, Ms. Damoff’s definition of inclusiveness does extend to ISIS militants returning to Canada, as she made clear during a Status of Women Committee meeting in 2018.

That’s when Damoff led the charge to stop a motion to study the impact that returning ISIS terrorists would have on Yazidi women and girls who had suffered at the hands of ISIS before finding refuge in Canada. Damoff chose ISIS radicals over victims of rape and sex-trafficking.

Let’s be honest: MP Damoff’s maneuver is a political attack designed to divide our Party under its new leadership.

This attack was made at the behest of her party, because her party is afraid. They also hate the fact that I stand up for conservative principles, without apology.
