No problem.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880110\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Good morning, Mr. Commissioner.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880111\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Good afternoon, ladies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880112\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As far as the <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> of Canada is concerned, it seems to me that we're currently in a situation we've never seen before, and I'm wondering about that. Brookfield Asset Management, a management company, manages $1 billion in assets. The Prime Minister was one of the senior leaders up until January of this year. According to the Statistics Canada database entitled \u201cInter-Corporate Ownership\u201d, Brookfield controlled 916 businesses as of December 31, 2024. On your public registry, it says that Mark Carney divested himself of publicly traded securities as well as underwriting rights and other similar effects through the establishment of a blind trust. Your registry also indicates that you have agreed to put in place a conflict of interest screen and that this is an appropriate compliance measure.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880113\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Could you explain to me how this conflict of interest screen works in the context of this situation, which I think is quite unique. This is a far cry from Paul Martin and his shipping company.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8880109\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident. Il n'y a pas de probl\u00e8me.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880110\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Bonjour, monsieur le commissaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880111\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Bonjour, mesdames.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880112\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En ce qui concerne le <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">premier ministre</a> du Canada, il me semble que nous sommes pr\u00e9sentement dans une situation qu'on n'a jamais vue, et je me pose des questions \u00e0 ce sujet. Brookfield Asset Management, une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de gestion, g\u00e8re des actifs de 1 milliard de dollars. Le premier ministre en \u00e9tait un des hauts dirigeants jusqu'en janvier dernier. Selon la banque de donn\u00e9es tenue par Statistique Canada intitul\u00e9e \u00ab Liens de parent\u00e9 entre soci\u00e9t\u00e9s \u00bb, Brookfield contr\u00f4lait 916 entreprises le 31 d\u00e9cembre 2024. Dans votre registre public, on peut lire que Mark Carney s'est dessaisi de valeurs cot\u00e9es en bourse ainsi que de droits de souscription d'actions et d'autres effets semblables par l'\u00e9tablissement d'une fiducie sans droit de regard. Votre registre indique \u00e9galement que vous avez convenu de mettre en place un filtre anti-conflit d'int\u00e9r\u00eats et que cela constitue une mesure de conformit\u00e9 appropri\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8880113\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'aimerais que vous m'expliquiez comment s'articule ce filtre anti-conflit d'int\u00e9r\u00eats dans le contexte de cette situation, qui est assez particuli\u00e8re, \u00e0 mon avis. On est loin de Paul Martin et de sa compagnie de bateaux.</p>"
