Mr. Speaker, the minister conveniently forgot to disclose the company with the French villa.
Last week, I was in Maple Ridge and heard the outrage residents had toward their missing-in-action MP over his government's hypocrisy on taxes. Small businesses are angry that the Minister of Finance, who is asking them to pay more taxes, receives tens of thousands of dollars per month from a company that he owns and regulates and that is registered in an offshore tax haven.
Why did it take him two years to admit that he failed to uphold the ethical standards expected of a finance minister?
