    Ethics scrutiny over Bill Morneau's company holdings

    Bill Morneau, then Canada's finance minister and a former executive chair of Morneau Shepell, faced criticism over his ownership of company shares and whether his interests created a conflict during debate over proposed small-business tax changes. Morneau said he had followed advice from the federal Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner regarding the handling of the holdings. He later sold his remaining shares and stated that gains associated with the increase in value were donated to charity. Morneau Shepell said individual pension plans represented only a very small portion of its revenue.
