Opposition MPs say they believe the tax news led to a dip in the stock market — including the value of Morneau Shepell shares. All week, the Conservatives and the New Democrats have been grilling the Liberals about Morneau's late-2015 sale of millions of dollars worth of his own shares in Morneau Shepell Inc. On Thursday, the finance minister's political foes seized on new information about two large 2015 sales of Morneau Shepell stock of 100,000 shares each. The questions have focused on his shares in Morneau Shepell, the company where he was executive chairman until his election win. He has also faced conflict-of-interest allegations over proposed pension reform — spearheaded by Morneau — that opponents say would bring him personal financial benefit.
