The wife of Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson continues to own oil and gas stocks at the same time her husband is a key minister on the Liberal government’s climate change file, transitioning away from the oil and gas sector to renewable resources.

Tara Wilkinson last year was listed as owning shares in Enbridge Incorporate and Shell PLC, according to conflict of interest filings obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
