Madam Speaker, charity is usually given out of compassion and not out of fear of losing one's job.
The Minister of Finance's sudden fit of charity occurred just before the NDP received a letter from the Ethics Commissioner stating that she has concerns about the Minister of Finance's actions and just before we learned that the Ethics Commissioner had chastised him for not disclosing all of his assets. The minister is trying to distract us all from the real issue and is still refusing to admit that he made a big mistake.
Will the Liberals join us in making sure this kind of thing does not happen again?
