Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer called on Bill Morneau to resign as Minister of Finance

Canadians have lost faith in this Finance Minister because he has betrayed their trust over and over again! This Finance Minister has launched an attack on small businesses, health professionals, and farmers - calling hardworking Canadians tax cheats. He didn’t put his millions of dollars of shares of his family company in a blind trust even after he suggested he would.

He refused to answer simple questions about his assets and who controls them. He was fined by the ethics commissioner for failing to disclose a corporation he owned. He is now under investigation for breaking federal ethics laws by introducing a bill that could directly benefit his family company. He has dodged very serious questions, again and again, about the timing of the sale of his stocks in Morneau Shepell. Through all of this, Justin Trudeau has stood by Bill Morneau, and even adopted his tactic of avoiding questions in the House of Commons. This is why we are calling on the Finance Minister to resign. Under a cloud of investigation and with serious questions about his dealings going unanswered, he should not continue in his role. If Morneau won’t step down, it is Trudeau’s responsibility to remove him from his post.
