The prime minister’s right-hand man told MPs Mark Carney holds himself to the highest ethical standards and his ethics screen is “rigorous.”
Carney’s chief of staff, Marc-André Blanchard, made the comment while appearing before the House of Commons ethics committee on Nov. 20. His appearance was part of the committee’s review of the Conflict of Interest Act, to determine whether conflict-of-interest screens and blind trust rules should be amended.
