Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance's fundamental problem is that he only takes action once he is caught red-handed.
He promised to put his assets in a blind trust, but he did not. Instead he created a company that he sold when he was caught. That is the problem.
He also continues to refuse to answer the question about the 680,000 shares that were sold.
The question is simple: will the Minister of Finance finally get serious about collaborating with the Ethics Commissioner? Instead of keeping this between himself and the Ethics Commissioner, why does the Minister of Finance not publicly say whether he was the one who sold those 680,000 shares?
