Call the fire department!!!
There's so much smoke here there must be a massive fire.
I'm sorry, this is no different than a kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar who know promises to do all kinds of good deeds for Mommy.
Sorry Minister, right, wrong, or indifferent, this "gesture of salving your conscience", does not fit with a Minister of the Crown. Leave quickly and quietly so that the Prime Minister can order a full review by the RCMP. You're offering $5 Million for something you said was entirely above board. By this gesture, innocent, or not, you have now raised the red flags about what may have really happened and whether there is any reparation that you can make, to make it right, but a $5 Million gesture on your part, sends all the wrong signals - and if you think it doesn't then you shouldn't occupy a Cabinet chair in the first place.
Resign Mr. Morneau.
Mr. Prime Minister, nothing less than a full RCMP inquiry will now clear the air for Mr. Morneau and your Government.
