Tax changes and a price dropTo be clear: there is zero actual evidence that Morneau engaged in insider trading. Morneau will not confirm or deny whether that "someone" was him, even though his office told the National Post back in October that the minister sold 680,000 shares after taking office. A paternal connectionThen on Thursday, Global News reported that Morneau's father sold 100,000 shares on Nov. 23, 2015 and another 100,000 shares on Dec. 1 that year. For the record: Morneau denies that he discussed the government's tax changes with his father. Morneau could venture down a path he's been avoiding for the last several weeks and offer a real, unscripted, thorough explanation.
