Conflict of Interest Screen
Conflict of interest screens are preventive compliance measures, agreed upon pursuant to section 29 of the Conflict of Interest Act by a public office holder and the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, to assist the public office holder in avoiding conflicts of interest. Screens also seek to minimize the possibility of conflicts arising between the public duties of the public office holder and their private interests or those of their relatives and friends.
The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner and I have agreed that a conflict of interest screen is an appropriate measure to prevent any opportunity, while exercising my official functions, to further the private interests of my spouse, Mr. Joseph Lanzon, Vice President, Corporate Affairs at Norzinc or to his employer, or to give preferential treatment to Norzinc.
Accordingly, I have agreed to abstain from any discussion, decision, debate or vote – other than those of general application – in relation to my souse, to Norzinc, or to any representatives of that company. I also agree not to have any communication with government officials in relation to any matter or decision-making processes involving my spouse, Norzinc, or any representatives of that company.
This screen is administered by Ms. Claire Seaborn, Chief of Staff in the Office of the Minister Natural Resources, to ensure that I am neither made aware of nor a participant in any discussions or decision-making processes pertaining to the private interests of my spouse or Norzinc, unless the interest in the decision or matter is one of general application.
The Minister of Natural Resources, ministerial staff in the office of the Minister, and ministerial liaisons at Natural Resources Canada have been duly informed in writing of this conflict of interest screen.
I have undertaken to inform the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner of any additional matters I am made aware of in the future that should form part of the subject matter of the conflict of interest screen.
In the event that any relevant matter is not caught by the screen and comes before me, I am required under section 21 of the Conflict of Interest Act to recuse myself from that issue or matter and inform the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner.
