Mr. Speaker, if the Minister of Finance's hands were clean, he would not have paid a fine for failing to declare all of his assets.
The Minister of Finance actually has a big problem, because every time he tells us that everything has been straightened out, someone digs a little deeper and finds out that there is more to the story. Now we know that his former company, Morneau Shepell, regularly signs multi-million-dollar contracts with the government.
Knowing this, can the minister explain why, shortly after the election, the president and CEO of Morneau Shepell told his shareholders, and I quote, Government and other public sector organizations represent a significant growth opportunity?
