Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's problems with the WE organization grew today.
The organization has paid thousands of dollars in speaking fees to Trudeau's family.
WE says Trudeau's mother received about 250,000 dollars for 28 speaking appearances at WE-related events between 2016 and 2020.
It says his brother Alexandre has been paid 32-thousand dollars for eight events.
The federal government initially selected on WE Charity to distribute the Canada Student Services Grant that's worth 900 million dollars.
The agreement was cancelled over the Trudeau family's connections to the Toronto-based charity and its for-profit arm, ME to WE Social Enterprise.
