The federal government is rejecting a Conservative accusation that it was either ignorance or corruption that led the Liberals to briefly award a huge contract to the WE charity. The group had paid members of Justin Trudeau's family for speaking engagements. During question period in the House of Commons, Conservative leader Andrew Scheer pointed to reports that auditors had been concerned while reviewing WE Charity's financials. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland maintained it was civil servants who favoured WE running the 900 million dollar student jobs program. The House of Commons is

The House of Commons meets today as the Liberals seek to pass a bill to extend their wage-subsidy program, send a special payment to people with disabilities and extend some legal deadlines for court cases. Finance Minister Bill Morneau says the wage-subsidy program needs to be extended to December and have its criteria loosened a little, so business can re-open and employ workers even if trade is slow at first as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. The payments of up to $600 for people with disabilities and the court extensions were elements of a bill the Liberals couldn't get through the House

Canada's deputy public health officer Dr. Howard Njoo says singing and dancing in close quarters is not the way to party this summer. Njoo is urging younger people to stop cramming bars and dance floors to stop the spread of COVID-19. Njoo says indoor activities carry a higher risk to spread COVID-19 and that can have serious health consequences, even for young people. However, Quebec Premier Francois Legault says the recent resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the province is due to private gatherings rather than bar visits. Njoo says younger Canadians have a duty to act responsibly to keep COVID

Conservatives on the Commons ethics committee say they'll be seeking copies of all records related to any speaking appearances involving Trudeau, his wife, his mother and his brother. According to WE, most of the fees we
