Mr. Speaker, if the Minister of Finance's hands were clean, he would not have paid a fine for failing to declare all of his assets.
The Minister of Finance actually has a big problem, because every time he tells us that everything has been straightened out, someone digs a little deeper and finds out that there is more to the story. Now we know that his former company, Morneau Shepell, regularly signs multi-million-dollar contracts with the government.
Knowing this, can the minister explain why, shortly after the election, the president and CEO of Morneau Shepell told his shareholders, “Government and other public sector organizations represent a significant growth opportunity”?
