Mr. Speaker, the minister will have to donate $300,000 that he has made today, and $10,000 since question period started to charity.
In fact, the day after Bill C-27 was introduced, shares in Morneau Shepell rose sharply by 5%. By his own admission, the Minister of Finance has made $5.5 million on his Morneau Shepell stock alone since he was elected. The Ethics Commissioner is concerned enough that she is now investigating the minister's involvement in Bill C-27.
How could the minister betray Canadians like this for his own financial gain and that of his family business?
