Carney’s ethics filing reveals details of conflict of interest screen on Brookfield

Jul 11, 2025 | 1:44 PM

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s chief of staff and the country’s top public servant will be responsible for maintaining an ethics screen preventing him from making decisions that benefit his former employer.

That information is part of a newly released disclosure from the office of the ethics commissioner.

When Carney was sworn in as prime minister in March, he was required to file information about his assets and potential conflicts of interest with the commissioner’s office.

The disclosure confirms that Carney divested his stocks and other assets by establishing a blind trust.

The ethics screen will prevent him from making decisions that benefit Brookfield Asset Management, Brookfield Corporation and Stripe — all companies in which he had interests before the blind trust was established.
