Mr. Speaker, let us lay out the facts for the Prime Minister.
First, before entering “public service” the finance minister advocated for targeted pensions. That makes sense. He made millions off of it. Second, his company buys Mercer Canada that runs the pensions for 93,000 Canada Post workers and retirees. Then after being elected and still owning and controlling millions of dollars of shares in Morneau Shepell, he sponsors a bill that would benefit Morneau Shepell and himself personally.
If this does not qualify as a conflict of interest in the heart and mind of the Prime Minister, then what does?
