US EditionPoilievre wants Carney to cash out blind trust, says ethics screens insufficient
CANADA, JUL 14 – Mark Carney established an ethics screen to avoid conflicts related to Brookfield Asset Management, with oversight by senior officials to ensure compliance, the ethics office said.
- On Friday, the office of the ethics commissioner said the Prime Minister's chief of staff will maintain a screen blocking matters involving Brookfield Asset Management, Brookfield Corporation, and Stripe Inc.
- Under disclosure rules, Mark Carney placed all investments in a blind trust days before his March swearing-in, and is required to disclose assets within 60 days of taking office.
- Asset filings indicate Carney holds shares in Stripe, options in Brookfield Corporation and Brookfield Asset Management, plus interests in over 560 companies via a third-party trust.
- Amid criticism, Pierre Poilievre says Prime Minister Mark Carney could still benefit from decisions affecting Brookfield’s portfolio.
- In Ottawa, Justin Trudeau and his cabinet also operated under screens, highlighting ongoing precedent for conflict of interest management in Canadian politics.
