Yep:
Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson yesterday disclosed his wife Tara owns stock in one of Canada’s largest gas companies. Wilkinson has repeatedly invoked the couple’s school-age daughters in justifying federal climate change programs, but omitted mention of family shares in Enbridge Inc.: “It is something we must take action on in the short term if we want to leave a livable planet for our kids.”
Also:
The Commons yesterday took up a Bloc Québécois bill to retroactively eliminate pension payments for ex-Governor General Julie Payette. MPs from all parties cited public outrage over Payette’s pension for life: “Things went terribly wrong.”

Cabinet is seeking Parliament’s quick passage of a back-to-work bill to end a longshoremen’s strike at the Port of Montréal. A bill will be introduced today in the Commons: “The Port’s activities cannot be stopped. We need the Port.”
Rather, the political winds blew a certain way and that is why they acted as they did.
