Mark Carney Faces Scrutiny Over Financial Transparency as Prime Minister

Carney pledges conflict-of-interest measures while opposition demands greater disclosure of his financial holdings.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced he will recuse himself from decisions involving companies he previously worked with, including Brookfield Asset Management.
Carney is working with Canada’s Ethics Commissioner to create conflict-of-interest screens to manage potential issues tied to his private sector background.
His financial holdings, excluding cash and real estate, have been placed in a blind trust, but opposition parties continue to push for more transparency.
Carney held significant roles at major firms like Brookfield, Stripe, and Bloomberg, with financial interests valued at approximately $11.3 million in Brookfield alone.
Speculation grows that Carney will call a federal election soon, with possible dates in late April or early May.
