Mr. Speaker, that is said by a man who is under investigation by the Ethics Commissioner.
The definition of insider trading is “the use of undisclosed material information for profit”. Here are the facts. The finance minister told the National Post he sold $10 million in Morneau Shepell shares in December 2015. Six days later he introduced a tax change that would have lost someone selling $10 million in shares half a million dollars. Just minutes ago, the finance minister refused to tell reporters if it was he who in fact had sold those shares.
Given all of this, how can the Prime Minister still have confidence in his finance minister?
