[@martinfriesen2247]

I'm surprised liberals did not put a gag order on it.

[@jeremyfitzpatrick7772]

They did.

[@billblendick9780]

Always the same crap …. we are reviewing and taking measures ! The tax payers WANT THEIR MONEY BACK !!!!!!

[@stuomsen5094]

exactly!

[@2and20]

"This happened under the Conservatives too" "Yes, but they spend 8m, you spent 200m..." Vassy is a wonderful reporter. Credit to her or keeping all sides honest

[@martinfriesen2247]

Disregard??? How about contempt!

[@jamesstrathy2178]

Why we will take that to heart and change our ways! AFTER YOU GOT CAUGHT! CALL AN ELECTION! NOW!

[@DRPL766]

Another week, another scandal. I think every single MP needs to get audited.

[@standingstone1973]

How can anyone trust this government?

[@gregd183]

😂😂😂no

[@marcschouten3527]

They are highly trusted….. by the most corrupt companies, lobbyists and liberal connected groups who gorge at the taxpayer funded trough.

[@perryg5500]

Take the $200 plus million away from the public sector pensions and let’s see how that goes. Wake up Canada….

[@tammywillerth6000]

No direct answer about Dominic Leblanc. Why? He is guilty.

[@enniodangela]

Why is no one going to jail??? Under Charles Sousa, the Ontario taxpayer is now responsible for $60B resulting from the FIT program, for solar panels & wind mills.

[@MrPeaceman71]

Canada is done with these incompetent crooks

[@Susan-q6n6u]

WTF - where’s the funds? WTF - where’s taxpayer funds? WTF - wacko’s took funds

[@tomcotter8138]

It is written: ‘Sociopaths are incapable of guilt or shame for their actions; they don’t feel remorse as they are only concerned with their own interests.’ The Golden Rule: Whoever Has the Gold Makes the Rules !! Flush it Liberals NDP let it make skid marks on the way out. I’m 100% to vote ☑️ Poilievre!!

[@christinarosed.p.1967]

Yup, birds of a feather flock together. Trudeau only allows like minded servants serve him.

[@Leoparra04]

Don’t try to minimize the amount of money. 200M is a lot of money that WE have to pay

[@TheClipperchip]

They all belong in jail!

[@michaelcrawford2909]

Vassy is doing fantastic work

[@stephenmorris8557]

Charles is pretty slick.

[@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

Non Party status coming for the LPC and NDP!!!

[@jeffchow7209]

He tried to make this looks insignificant and ended the conversation with "believe me.....".....unbelievable!!

[@baybay1234]

It’s like saying “trust me bro”😂

[@genefowler2431]

So this is what a snake oil salesman in a nice suit looks like.

[@carltyndall5302]

Polievre WILL NOT ALLOW THIS KIND OF PILLAGE HAPPEN!!!!

[@judithrochon7837]

Yes he will . It will be his cronies getting the contracts. Power corrupts.

[@XiaoliTang-or5ln]

How Canadians can tolerate such a corrupt government?

[@Mikkee453]

We all need to get together and stop this insanity- if you count everything the government takes 40% of incomes Wtf

[@goldminer83]

FJT

[@lenvillemaire4751]

Why does the RCMP not charges these criminals?

[@re8ksam]

excuse excuse exucse. I heard nothing other than excuse

[@jeffstewart4162]

“To ensure there is integrity in the system” hahaha. I actually get it now, everything is broken..

[@danspall5297]

Great job vassy

[@simonkonglo]

The incentive to become a politician is to get a chance to fill your pockets.

[@AshishSingh20407]

Everything is okay because jagmeet needs his pension

[@rodrigo56125]

Vassy you are the best journalist in Canada today!! it really is a breath of fresh air, in such a polarized world we live in!

[@GOATBOY-101]

Did sousa think he could be smarter than Vassy, what a fool he looks like

[@canadiansfor2A]

10% for blackface? He fired Reynolds to allow them to get government contracts!

[@kanadyjczyk27]

GO Conservators GO

[@paullacroix527]

This guy was a former finance minister in Ontario. Yes Wynne's finance min. The worst one in Ontario history. Now he's in Ottawa spinning Trudeau corruption. How the mighty have fallen. Oh BTW, who's Randy?

[@gabrielshim498]

So much time is wasted asking the Liberals a question. I don't think they've ever once answered a question.

[@tomadcock8822]

The pandemic had nothing to do with this. It’s just your buddies at McKenzie got most of the contract without proper procedures being used.

[@dogoftheg]

Hubris on full display here. They really think, “we know you know, and there’s nothing you can do about it. lol 😂.”

[@peterbutz642]

And more money laundering continues

[@monicapushkin3274]

Ahh, Gas Plant Charlie ..... a beacon of ethics ..... crawls out from under a rock every 6 months.

[@bridgetcarrancho846]

I will no longer fund this government.

[@Tomadcock-j1o]

One billion dollar Souse gas plant scandal The IT guy got throwing under the bus

[@malaudisa]

We have a kakistocracy, not a government.

[@Pfuetz4]

That’s a new one! Thank you!

[@BarbaraCorbett-ze3my]

Sousa is an opportunistic slimeball, he was when he was Finance Minister for Wynne and he is now.

[@benmorr4824]

McKinsey may have been a small part but the money spent on them wasn't .

[@KlaytonDeputan]

this guy is trippng all over his words, what a joke

[@gratefulgirl2]

A lack of values that she couldn’t assess…. Because there’s no proper tracking and policies followed!!!! Please! 🤮

[@natalien8017]

according to the Secretary, it appears the COVID-19 virus ate documents, but the brave McKinsey was fighting the money, thus the money was concurred by this firm. "we are taking responsibility by the actions we are initiating" - what a brilliant new-speak!

[@Tomadcock-j1o]

Lied with him and Trudeau

[@willemfeather2655]

I'll just take my refund, thanks "minister."

[@Tomadcock-j1o]

Concerned they got caught

[@Tomadcock-j1o]

Try using you bloated public service

[@geraldstinson7698]

Is this not the same guy who helped McGuinty/Wynne destroy the economy of Ontario? I wouldn't even buy a used car off this guy.

[@tomadcock8822]

Why cut off there perks

[@johnsc17]

Once a crook always a crook no matter what you modernize lol

[@todddonly2787]

Liberal's complacent on all these issues is above concerning

[@jjd4777]

I'm not an expert at spotting deception, however, I don't think you have to be see through this slickster.

[@blakeboudreault8518]

Another slime ball

[@gitanjalisimon-rasiah16]

He is a fraud

[@tomadcock8822]

Has a history of this But he doesn’t remember

[@patreiger8936]

Sousa you should be in jail

[@mariamedeiros7626]

Their is a consequence to our actions and inactions in that case so I agree trudeaus wife should have said something done anything she now has to deal With that karma

[@The77xavier]

Liberal strategy...talk a lot so you get fewer questions that they likely won't answer

[@saladgirl2062]

Go Vassy ! This guy is so smooth it’s like trying to pin jelly to a wall.

[@tomadcock8822]

This guy full of crap

[@brrteebee]

Lest we forget MP Charles Sousa was the Finance Minister of Ontario under Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne. He was responsible for the outrageous financial disorder of the Ontario treasury when the Liberals where voted out of the Ontario Legislation and lost party status in the Assembly.

[@cvan7681]

Sousa said absolutely nothing.

[@ianleslie6971]

Same thing going on in BC Why the fiction off a bid , on a contract any way. No evaluation done , just bids awarded. We are seeing projects, over budget 5 x and 10 x over budget.and not even finished. More to come. ┐('～`;)┌

[@herbertcomber8558]

THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER, AN ILLIGAL MATTER, AND THE ABSOLUTE WORST CRIME ANY CANADIAN CAN BE SUSPECTED OF

[@maryparker67]

I never seen Charles smile so much ,got something to hide ????

[@alienwizards3246]

Well we've been wasting money for so long that it ok right?

[@bettyberthelette9725]

She just admitted she is not a member of NDP or Conservatives, that is why there are times she is so one sided. If this was a Conservatives sneak would have tried ripping them a new one

[@jayshahu]

So does this guy just give money to a contractor who comes to fix his house just bcos they are reputable.

[@gratefulgirl2]

We’re looking at that….

[@AbeySampson-ow8pz]

Stop laughing Sousa just answer the question dude

[@josephroger9681]

[@Pfuetz4]

[@regchant4609]

[@tomadcock8822]

[@theowoytowich9959]

[@tomadcock8822]

The pandemic had nothing to do with this. It’s just your buddies at McKenzie got most of the contract without proper procedures being used.
