I think everyone knew he was just Trudeaus fallguy.

We could have used the $300.

Duh !!!!

Sounds like systemic raceisum still exists in the federal government.

Allow him to go he didn’t come to rescue the situation. He came for personal stuff . Let’s put his issues to rest

If only the CRA were as forgiving as the joke they call the “Ethics” Commissioner.

Nope. I’ve read the entire Conflict of Interest Act and nowhere does it state if you “generally believe” you didn’t break law, it’s excusable behaviour to avoid being found guilty of actions that literally break the law. Ethics Czar has no discretion. RulesForThee cdnpoli

Didn’t I say earlier yesterday ... after all it’s only what it is a dog. This one will take nothing more than a hefty pay check. Don’t expect any loyalty here. Just a tail wag to anyone feeding it. I hereby declare BillMorneau a Saint and take back his apology. Canada ethics

Now there's a shocker. I guess they think the Canadian people are easily fooled. They aren't, or they don't care. Liberals got the vote because they are willing to drive the country into backbreaking debt to keep supporting parasites by the armpits.

That’s like his mom writing him a note...

Ethics watch dog was created by the Harper government in 2007 and is non partisan so Mr. Morneau was cleared of any violations of ethics so those calling themselves conservatives these days can move on and hopefully they can find themselves real solutions instead of make believe.

But it’s perfectly ok to attempt a bribe on G7 Finance Minister. And then they said it was a gift. For what? Being fabulous they said. cdnpoli

What a joke. Even the guy himself resigned

BULLS***.

Why do we let criminals investigate themselves?
