Ethics commissioner clears Morneau on sale of shares in 2015
In one of her final moves as Canada's ethics and conflict of interest commissioner, Mary Dawson found that Bill Morneau and a family member didn't benefit from insider information when they sold shares in his family's pension company, Morneau Shepell, in the fall of 2015.
In a letter dated Jan. 5 and addressed to Morneau, Dawson said the income tax increase for Canadians earning more than $200,000 was publicly announced on Nov. 4 and Morneau sold his shares on Nov. 30. The legislation was tabled on Dec. 7.
"The act prohibits the use of insider information obtained in his or her position by a public office holder and that is not available to the public, which, in light of the above [reasons] was not the case in this instance," she said.
Dawson investigated the sale at NDP MP Nathan Cullen's request. Conservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre also wrote to her office. Poilievre had argued the timing of the share sale was no coincidence as the share price later took a dip, and he has sought to tie the depreciation to the tax hike.
