- Description
-
On January 30, 2024, I recused myself from any discussion, decision, debate or vote concerning a matter involving TC Energy companies in order to avoid any opportunity to further the private interest of my son, Ben Pike.
As part of my conflict of interest screen, I am required to recuse myself if I am made aware of a matter that should have formed part of the screen.
