On Point With Alex Pierson

This the On Point podcast with Alex Pierson for Wednesday, August 19th. Alex is joined by Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre to discuss why his party thinks bureaucrats were nudged by political staffers to pick the WE charity for the now cancelled multi million dollar student program after documents were released today. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has prorogued parliament in what Poilievre is calling a cover up after Trudeau and now former finance minister Bill Morneau failed to recuse themselves from the deal after it was discovered they both had family ties to the organization. Alex is also joined by Dr. David Jacobs of the Ontario Specialists Association, to discuss ongoing concerns of parents as kids prepare to return to school in two weeks.
