Jensen said the ministry is also investigating a claim that Ma paid volunteers "20% of the total claim and pocketed the remaining amount." However, the ministry would not provide further details about the allegation.
I mean this part sounds sketchy to me. Are you allowed to pay volunteers?
I feel like asking her to account for the cost is not ridiculous. She deserves to be paid for the work she says went into it, including training and organizing, but is that $600,000 worth?
That being said them reaching for this bulletin they provided seems like a stretch. Like the article says, if they had specifically asked for the bulletin to be waived during COVID, I'm sure the govt would have waived it, so that part feels like a big reach.
I don't know if I'm naive and this happens all the time, but it feels like an import of our neighbours base partisanship against ANYTHING the liberals propose based on it coming from them and not from the cons.
Disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised.
