Conservatives demand docs on Carney’s ethics screen after Liberals censor debate
The ethics committee has urged the Prime Minister to divest major stock holdings, but Liberal members opposed the proposal.
On Monday, Conservative MPs criticized Liberals on the ethics committee for blocking transparency on the Prime Minister’s ethics screen.
“Canadians deserve to know how the screen operates, including cases where potential conflicts are flagged but the Prime Minister’s advisers choose not to activate it,” said Conservative MP Michael Cooper, a member of the ethics committee.
Brookfield’s SEC filing shows Mark Carney held $9.8M in unexercised stock options as of Dec. 31, 2024, and must recuse himself from decisions involving 103 companies due to conflicts tied to holdings in 574 stocks, mostly U.S.-based.
He disclosed his assets in July — not when he became Prime Minister last Mar. 14 — prompting Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to call it the “Carney loophole.”
