OTTAWA - Canada’s finance minister resigned on Monday amid friction with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over spending policies and after coming under fire for his ties to a charity tapped to run a student grant program.
“This morning I went to the prime minister and I tendered my resignation,” Morneau told reporters at a hastily arranged news conference on Monday evening. Morneau and his team have pushed back against other cabinet ministers about how much pandemic funding was needed, including to what extent the post-lockdown recovery could be helped by investing in environmental projects, sources told Reuters on Sunday.
Other possible replacements for the key post include Foreign Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and President of Canada’s Treasury Board Jean-Yves Duclos.
Amid friction 😂😂😂
Resignation. It's terrible!😡
Trudeau has to many friends who are convicted of pedophilia
what the hell is going on in around the world.
He resigned to deflect from the PM. Just like the last scandal where G.Butts resigned to deflect from the PM. Most corrupt government ever in Canada. Justin Trudeau experiment has been a failure.
حتى انت يا ترودو
How is it the foreign press is the only paper with an accurate headline
