One of the strange things about the Trudeau Foundation is that it is actually a public Foundation founded by Prime Minister Jean Chretien in the 1990s when he had a surplus in the budget - it was literally created with tax payer money. He created it to avoid criticism from the opposition that he made too many cuts to the budget previously. It issues scholarships for Canadian post-graduate students. He named it after Pierre Trudeau. It actually is not supposed to have anything to do with the Trudeaus themselves, but they seem to have co-opted it, with the Trudeau sons on the board (Justin stepped down, not sure if Sasha is still on it, not after today anyway!), as well as Pierre Trudeau's illegitimate daughter.
So, I am not sure how Justin Trudeau benefits from it. It really needs to be dug into. It's probably much higher than Trudeau and is a pay-for-play slush fund for the entire Liberal Party.
