Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau has paid a fine under the Conflict of Interest Act.

A notice quietly posted to the ethics commissioner’s website recently details the two sections of the act the embattled senior Liberal minister has been penalized for violating.

Both penalties are related to Morneau’s failure to disclose his directorship in the corporation that owns his French villa and an estimate of its value.

The violation comes with a $200 fine, which the public notice marks as “paid.”

Such fines are not uncommon, with 14 having been issued so far this year to various Liberals. But this latest revelation confirms Morneau has broken provisions of the Conflict of Interest Act. This contrasts with the finance minister’s repeated assertions that he has always been in full compliance with the rules as laid out by ethics commissioner Mary Dawson.

“This was an administrative error and the minister has agreed to pay the administrative penalty,” Daniel Lauzon, spokesman for Morneau, told the Sun on Wednesday. “The property itself has been disclosed, but the legal vehicle through which the property is owned was missed.

“Still, it’s the kind of error we shouldn’t be making, and the minister has and will continue to work with the ethics commissioner to make sure he is in full compliance.”

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer seized on the news of the public posting of Morneau’s fine. “Canadians deserve much, much better from Justin Trudeau’s out-of-touch Liberals,” Scheer posted to social media. “He must stop behaving as though rules don’t apply to people like him.”
