Senior political correspondent Barry Soper told Heather duPlessis-Allan that a resignation is unlikely. 'You'd have to go back then to the 1930s to find a finance minister who has stood aside from the portfolio.’ LISTEN ABOVE The podcasts in the SME Stream contain general information only, not financial or professional advice.
