The threat of a possible snap election will be hovering over Parliament Hill this week as opposition parties resume their fight with the Liberal government over the WE controversy and preparations for the second wave of COVID-19. But the third, if supported by the three main opposition parties, would roll several committee investigations into the WE deal — and the charity's payments to members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's family — into one special committee. And while Angus indicated an openness to the Liberal proposal for a COVID-19 committee, he suggested opposition parties were getting tired and frustrated at what he described as the government's stonewalling over the WE controversy. "The Liberals have said publicly that they're ready to work on establishing the committee," he said. If they're not serious, it's just going to make the opposition parties even more frustrated."
