The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that Prime Minister Mark Carney must recuse himself from discussions, debates, decisions or votes specifically pertaining to more than 100 corporate entities, newly released ethics documents show.
The Globe's Stephanie Levitz and James Bradshaw write that the list includes Brookfield Asset Management and dozens of companies with ties to Brookfield, even if Mr. Carney personally has no role or direct financial interest.
The filings were released Friday in compliance with a deadline under the Conflict of Interest Act requiring public disclosure within 120 days of Mr. Carney becoming Prime Minister in March.
The screen means he cannot be aware of or participate in any matters specifically involving the companies' interests, but may participate in discussions or decisions that are general in nature or could affect the companies' interests more broadly. His assets are in a blind trust. The disclosures list hundreds of individual stocks held through an investment account.
They include many stocks found in a typical mutual fund or index fund sold to ordinary investors, such as Walmart, Starbucks, video conferencing company Zoom, and tech giants such as Microsoft and Amazon.
