Just blame the Ethics Commissioner, Mr. Speaker.
The finance minister says he is working for the middle class, all the while attempting to justify that his actions were ethical, showing again just how out of touch he is with the reality facing most Canadians. The minister is in charge of the country's finances and he should not be allowed to maintain control over tens of millions of dollars in personal investments in a company he regulates. That is common sense.
When will he take personal ownership that what he did was wrong and just apologize to Canadians?
