  • Canadian PM’s family had done paid work for We Charity
  • Trudeau: ‘I did absolutely nothing to influence’ decision

Justin Trudeau has told parliament he did not intervene to make sure a charity his family did paid work for would win a government contract.

The Canadian prime minister has previously apologized and in an appearance before a parliamentary committee on Thursday, he said again that he should have recused himself from a cabinet decision to award a contract to administer money to students having trouble finding work due to the pandemic.
