Federal
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau saying he'll make it right with charities
that paid him a speaking fee to take part in fundraising events,
including Saint John's Grace Foundation.
Trudeau
was paid $20,000 to speak at a fundraising event to raise money to buy
furniture for local seniors. Only 120 tickets were sold, and the
foundation was left with a $21,000 deficit.
Trudeau
tells CTV's Question Period he'll either give back the money to each
organization, or find another way to make it up to them.
Fundy
Royal MP Rob Moore has called on Trudeau to give the speaking fee back
to the Grace Foundation, and Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has said
Trudeau should return the $20,000 he was paid for speaking at a literacy
conference last year in Saskatoon.
