What a complete mess, Mr. Speaker, and the Minister of Finance has only himself to blame.
On November 30, 2015, someone sold 680,000 shares in Morneau Shepell, just a week before the minister announced tax measures that would eventually lower the value of those shares.
The minister himself confirmed having sold that many shares. He could have avoided this whole mess from the beginning by denying that it had anything to do with him, by denying that he sold the shares on November 30, but he refuses to do so.
Why, then, has the Prime Minister not called on his Minister of Finance to give a clear answer?
