Canada's Minister of Finance Bill Morneau looks at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during a press conference in Ottawa, on March 11, 2020.The Prime Minister’s Office says Justin Trudeau has “full confidence” in Bill Morneau to navigate Canada’s economy through the COVID-19 crisis, but did not say whether he would remain in the job after a cabinet shuffle expected in the coming weeks.
The statement did not say Mr. Morneau would continue as finance minister if Mr. Trudeau shuffles his cabinet, as expected before the return of Parliament in September, but lauded him for his role during the coronavirus shutdown and for past economic measures, including reforms to the Canada Pension Plan.
The Globe is not identifying the senior officials or the other sources for this story because they were not authorized to speak publicly about Mr. Trudeau’s plans for a cabinet remake that could lead to the departure of Mr. Morneau, a Toronto businessman who was named Finance Minister in 2015. Craig Alexander, chief economist of Deloitte Canada, lauded Mr. Morneau for his stewardship of the economy during the COVID-19 lockdown, but said he did not think the uncertainty over the Finance Minister’s future would rattle investor confidence in Canada.
During the lockdown, the Prime Minister came to rely on Mark Carney, former governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, for informal policy advice, and now on plans to revive the economy, sources said.

Liberals look after liberals. They have their own secret, self serving society that makes them rich, while they dole out controls on the rest of us. Morneau looks after himself and his father, wallowing in millions....tough gig
These assholes will never leave, and the dumb Canadian populace who believe they get freebies from these guys will never vote them out.
Yes. Bill_Morneau is in charge of our countries finances - yet he can’t keep track of his personal balance sheet and Forgets to pay a $40,000.00 bill. That amount of money is very close to the average Canadians annual salary. I can see why PMJT has confidence 🤥
The better question is, do the people have faith in either of them?
Of course Trudeau is saying he has faith in Finance Minister Morneau! Reason being that Morneau knows all of Trudeau’s dirty little secrets! Let’s hope Morneau can sing like a canary!!!!
That’s the funniest thing I heard, but the entire country has no confidence in either of them, he’s so foolish
globepolitics Of course he does the two of them are conducting the longest unarmed robbery in Canadian politics oh and let’s not forget Catherine McKenna JustinTrudeau cathmckenna Bill_Morneau TrudeauResignNOW WhereIsTheMoneyCatherine morneauresign WEscandal TrudeauCorruption
He has to or he condemns himself, I'm going to make a mistake on my taxes, but then apologize with no consequences, afterall that's the example set by this stellar leadership
And I have full confidence in leprechauns🍀 and unicorns 🦄 Wheee!
Finance minister is involved in too many scandals. He should resign or sent home.
Cause nobody wants to work with you
He needs another 0.01 percenter......
All this over a stupid charity. Why Canadians make a big deal over nothing like a charity or a relatively non-lethal cold virus which most recover? Is a charity and a cold virus fear that important to shut down the government and the economy? Do not think so. .................
Sure. He’s probably paying him to take the fall for JTs corruption.
But the rest of us DO NOT.
Bill Morneau's record speaks by themselves of his leading role in the emergency aid programs for Canadians and businesses in a hard time of the economy shut down by COVID-19. Canadians have full confidence in PM Trudeau and Morneau's good work. If the election call, Lib majority.
A Liberal thief having faith in another Liberal thief?
...to keep the cheques coming in?
Of course, they are both cut from the same cloth... camoflouge and doubled sided.
The true sign of JustinTrudeau's incompetence …
It’s the rest of the country that doesn’t.
And FYI, about the Morneau WE advance of $30M+ of taxpayers money to aid the Kielburger Bros debt woes...
MorneauHasToGo
Tell us where the money is Justy and Billy.
TWO CRIMINALS
Does anybody care that these guys are stealing from Canadians and then lying about it?
Birds of a feather stick together...
Well... is this really a surprise to anyone? These guys are big egomaniacs and want everything to look fine no matter the cost; not to mention I’m sure both are equally deep in the crap and could bring each other down. Canadians should have no confidence in Trudeau either so 🤷🏼♂️
He’s the only one
So, believe him and stop the divvisive narrative. Thx
It is not about Justin’s confidence it is about Morneau’s corruption.
globepolitics Of course he does. Morneau knows where all the money went, where the skeletons are.
WheresTheMoneyCatherine
JT is under ethics violations for 3rd time. Do the Canadian people have confidence in JT?
INRI CRISTO , O ÚLTIMO !! VIGIA HEIN ...
thick as thieves!
Which means WE the people should have zero confidence in him
