The only changes are to that the changes to lifetime capital gains exemption and the conversion of income into capital gains have been scraped. The rest are still on the table.

There is a pretty good stench of problems with integrity in this government. Morneau is a 10,000 pound gorilla in the room.
I don't know why the PM insists on keeping him, he's a pretty poor finance minister. But he has to know where the bodies are buried.
I would expect that any kind of firing will be nasty and Morneau is either going to get a huge severance or sue.

Recent polls have shown that the Liberals have pretty much bounced back to where they were before. Seems like the opposition overplayed their hand and got the public to tune out.
