Prime Minister Mark Carney has pledged to work with Canada’s ethics commissioner to set up conflict-of-interest “screens” allowing the former businessman to recuse himself from decisions related to companies he previously worked for.
Carney, who has served as chair of investment firm Brookfield Asset Management, said he is working “very fast” to develop the guidelines with Ethics Commissioner Konrad von Finckenstein.
