Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses.
I'll direct my first question to Ms. Krause.
Ms. Krause, you indicated that you sent a letter to WE seeking confirmation or clarification about whether they share their data with any political parties, including the Liberal Party. Have you received a response?

Ms. Senior, I'm sorry to cut you off. It's just that I have three more questions. Thank you so much, and thanks for getting that money out. Thank you for helping the organizations in my riding as well.
My next question is for Ms. Krause.
Ms. Krause, I want to make sure I have this right, so please confirm this. You indicated that WE had shared data to the Liberal Party in 2015 in order to help the Liberal Party target ridings to win. Did I get that right?

Ms. Krause, corporate donations, whether in money or services in kind, were abolished in 2003. Have you checked with Elections Canada? If there were donations in kind or in money for a corporation, that is entirely illegal.
We ought to be very careful at this committee. I know you are immune from being charged for what you say at committee, but if you said something in public, you could be challenged by legal counsel.
Do you have any evidence that there were donations to the Liberal Party in kind or in service? You said it was part of the Liberal Party election machine. That's a very serious charge.

Let's clarify.
There are many ways to be part of the election machine of any political party without making a cash donation. In fact, the way elections are run these days, it's the in-kind donations that are making the biggest impact, something as simple as a tweet from Barack Obama in the last election. Therefore, it's not just about cash.
Mr. Easter, if I may mention, I testified to your committee a year ago, on May 6. In that testimony I mentioned that I was concerned about how the political activity audits of charities had been handled. I mentioned that the CRA had audited 42 charities, and 41 out of 42 were not compliant. When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was elected, he suspended those audits, rewrote the law, and the audits were finalized with a retroactively rewritten law.
In light of this WE Charity issue, we need to know who the audited charities were. Is WE one of them? Is WE Charity one of the charities that was under audit?

Ms. Krause, there is no question that we need to get to the bottom of this, but some of the speculation injures parties, injures reputations. At this committee hearing, I want us to stick as close to fact....
I don't care whether it's the Liberal Party, the NDP, the Conservative Party or the Bloc Québécois, speculation is not what we want to see. We want to get close to the facts.
I'll turn to Mr. Fragiskatos.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to get back to the fact that the party that formed the government, the Liberal Party, used the wage subsidy program for partisan purposes. I looked at section 2 of this program. I was surprised. I was wondering how the Liberal Party had had access to it.
Section 2 says that those who are entitled to it are companies or businesses—so clearly not the Liberal Party—, individuals or persons—so not the Liberal Party—, or charitable organizations.
Is the Liberal Party of Canada a charitable organization?

We’ve decided to offer the wage subsidy to each business, across the country, in every sector of the economy, in order to protect its labour force so it can continue to operate. It’s a very important measure.
It will help our economy and will continue to protect employees all over the country.

He is not answering my question. The minister says that it’s for all businesses, but the Liberal Party of Canada is not a business.
My question was a bit mischievous, because I knew very well that it would not get an answer. The Liberal Party is against the wall. It can’t answer those questions, because it’s much too embarrassed to do so.
In my opinion, the Liberal Party is at the bottom of the list. The last point concerns a prescribed organization.
Is it as a prescribed organization that the Liberal Party was able to obtain its wage subsidy?

I think that all MPs in the House understand that, in a time of crisis, it is necessary to protect employees. That’s our goal. We did reach it through the Canada Emergency Response Benefit as well as the wage subsidy.
We will maintain our approach, which helps all Canadians experiencing difficulties because of COVID-19.

The government’s situation is really embarrassing. We now know that it’s through the prescribed organization category that it managed to obtain the wage subsidy.
My question is simple. I don’t know whether it’ll get an answer.
Which minister had the bright idea of suggesting that the Liberal Party of Canada put its hand in the cookie jar? Whose wonderful idea was this?
Was it the Minister of Finance or the Minister of National Revenue?

Madam Chair, as a government, we’ve decided that it was necessary to protect each business in the country that saw its revenue drop because of COVID-19. This way, they can protect their employees and their revenue. It’s very important. This means that after the crisis, people and businesses will be in a better situation.

We’re not making headway with the answers, but I think that we are with my questions.
A Liberal Party of Canada minister says that they’ll include this in the rules and that they’ll line their pockets. This looks like a conflict of interests.
Who’s guilty of having a conflict of interests in this government?

Madam Chair, it was a lot simpler than that. We’ve decided that Canadians who needed help and who were experiencing difficulties would receive help from the government. This was our approach.
A business that experiences a drop in revenue can access the wage subsidy to retain its employees.

He keeps going. The Liberal Party of Canada is a business, and we’re hearing it from the finance minister. I thought he was a lot wiser.
During the pandemic, some people died. There were 5,298 deaths in Quebec and 8,254 in all of Canada. Some people were sick, others felt isolated, some businesses went bankrupt, and some people lost their job. Meanwhile, this party was lining its pockets.
Are you ashamed of your actions?

Thank you, Madam Chair.
The government is trying to pass a bill that contains quite a few measures, some of which may be helpful. However, it doesn't contain a necessary measure, one that would prevent political parties from accessing wage subsidies and require them to repay subsidies they should have never been entitled to receive.
Does the Prime Minister think immorally funding the Liberal Party of Canada is more important than passing the bill he will be introducing tomorrow?
