I don't buy it for a second that he could 'forget' but even if he did, he clearly made a grave error bringing into question his ability to fulfill his role.
so... no recognition from you on the prior personal donations made hey! More on that referenced 100K donation made by Morneau to WE Charity... came in the form of 2 separate donations of $50K each over a 2 year period.
as for the $41K, WE Charity never invoiced as it 'comped' the cost for Morneau's family stay... as is the regular practice of WE when inviting potential supporters. And yes, certainly, rules don't allow for Ministers to accept sponsored travel costs. Note: the waldo has asked his crack research team to confirm whether the rules apply only to the Minister proper... or extends to also include family members. In any case, Morneau paid $41K after asking for a determination of what charges would have applied at the time - which was determined at the rate: USD $ 4,395 per person.
and, again: the public servants at ESDC selected, then recommended WE... and as shown today, 20 organizations were looked at prior to the eventual selection of WE. As prior testimony has showed, neither PM Trudeau or Minister Morneau had any involvement and/or engagement with ESDC in its selection/recommendation process.
also, apparently no recognition from you as to how Morneau has helped guide Canada/Canadians through the pandemic - oh my! A, as you say, grave error... on your part!
