Finance Minister Bill Morneau's actions related to the introduction of a pensions bill are being examined by Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson to see if they violated the Conflict of Interest Act. The finance minister met last month with the conflict of interest commissioner about the ownership of the one million shares which are worth about $20 million. "Bill Morneau owned shares in a company that administers pensions and he introduced a bill as finance minister on pensions. "Bill Morneau has shown horrible judgement." Cullen said says he can't understand why Morneau would sponsor a pension bill when he was a major shareholder in a pension company.
