Canada's opposition parties have asked Trudeau and Morneau to resign over granting a student volunteer program to a charity group named WE Charity that has close links to them and their family members.

Trudeau and his government have been under fire since announcing on June 25 they were granting WE Charity a sole-sourced contract to run the now-halted student volunteer summer program of 900 million Canadian dollars (about 664 million U.S. dollars).

Due to public outcry over the contract, the charity and the Trudeau government announced on July 3 that they were ending the contract.

On July 13, Trudeau said he made a mistake in not recusing himself from cabinet discussions about granting the program to the charity group.

In late July, Morneau said he had paid WE Charity back 41,366 Canadian dollars in outstanding expenses the organization covered for two trips his family took in 2017, and that his wife has made 100,000 Canadian dollars in donations to the organization in recent years.

The parliamentary ethics commissioner is investigating both Trudeau and Morneau over whether they breached the Conflict of Interest Act in relation to the program with WE Charity.
