I was just responding to the idea it was 25k and being taken from the government rather than a much larger amount
I think this is bad optics. The real problem that should have forced his resignation was being involved with policy that directly benefitted his financial position. He should have liquidated the Morneau-Shappel shares the day he became finance Minister and put it all in a blind trust.
Not only did he not sell his shares he did not put them in a blind trust and he made policy that could affect them which was against what the ethics commissioner said he should be doing.
So we are at the stage now that he is either an incompetent idiot or highly unethical. Therefore he should resign
