The administrator responsible for Prime Minister Mark Carney’s ethics screen says the prime minister has had 13 potential conflict of interest cases identified, and an ethics screen was applied to six of those cases, adding that the requirement did not apply to the other seven cases.

An ethics screen, also known as a conflict of interest screen, serves as a formal compliance measure for politicians, aimed at preventing any potential conflicts between their private interests and their responsibilities to the public.
