Trudeau said he was sorry he didn’t excuse himself from cabinet discussions about WE Charity, and also sorry he didn’t know more about the extent to which his family was involved with it. Significantly, his apology also offered no assurances for the future, and that’s important — this being his third brush with ethics investigations in his career as prime minister. Monday’s me-not-WE apology didn’t quite cover that. The prime minister also didn’t mention Finance Minister Bill Morneau, who has been found to have his own family conflicts with WE, including a daughter employed by the charity. Significantly, the finance minister hasn’t even ruled out the prospect of WE being the subject of cabinet discussions in future.
