OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau has yet to pay back a dime of the public-speaking fees he earned while sitting as an MP.

The Liberal leader promised 10 days ago to reimburse any group that feels it didn’t get its money’s worth.

But a spokeswoman says no group has sought repayment — other than the Grace Foundation, a New Brunswick charity that first sparked the controversy over Trudeau’s past moonlighting on the public-speaking circuit.

And it’s not entirely clear whether even the foundation still wants its $20,000 back.

Kate Monfette says Trudeau last week asked the foundation to specify whether it wants its money back in cash or “some other arrangement,” such as having him headline another fundraising event — for free, this time.

She says the foundation has yet to respond.

Foundation board member Susan Buck first wrote in March to the Speakers’ Spotlight, the agency through which Trudeau was hired for a June 2012 fundraising event, to seek a refund on the grounds that the event actually lost money.
