The NDP say documents show Youth Minister Bardish Chagger was the key driver in the Liberal government’s decision to have WE Charity run a $912 million student-volunteer program. NDP Ethics Critic Charlie Angus says Chagger has misled the public in her comments on the issue during her testimony to MPs, and should resign.
Angus says government documents released last month show Chagger played a key role in connecting WE with federal officials and developing the now-defunct Canada Student Service Grant (CSSG) program.
