Overview
- On July 14, the Ethics Commissioner released the full scope of the conflict-of-interest screen covering Carney’s dealings with Brookfield Asset Management, Brookfield Corporation and Stripe
- Marc-André Blanchard and Privy Council Clerk Michael Sabia have been tasked with ensuring Carney remains unaware of and uninvolved in any official matters affecting those companies
- Before placing assets into the blind trust, Carney held shares in more than 560 companies, including options and deferred shares in Brookfield entities and stock in Stripe
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has criticized the screen as inadequate and is calling on Carney to sell off all blind trust assets to eliminate any perceived conflicts
- Carney set up the blind trust days before his March swearing-in, surpassing legal deadlines for disclosure and following protocols used by previous administrations
