OTTAWA—WE Charity says it will hand over documents it promised to provide to a House of Commons committee whose investigation was disrupted when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prorogued parliament amidst a conflict of interest controversy that has dogged his government. The Commons ethics commissioner is now investigating both men under the Conflict of Interest Act — a law that Trudeau has already broken twice as prime minister. In the wake of the news that WE Charity, will close its Canadian operations, Conservatives and New Democrats were quick to stress that they won’t let the decision dampen the controversy. Singh called for parliament to resume earlier than Sept. 23 to ensure CERB doesn’t expire without its replacement in place. “Because the prime minister shut down Parliament, right now we’re up against a deadline where many people are going to lose their CERB,” Singh said.
