On May 11, 2021, in the exercise of my official duties, I recused myself from discussions and decisions concerning the ferry services between New Brunswick and the Prince Edward Island as well as between Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island as there could be implications for the Confederation Bridge, which is subject to the conflict of interest screen implemented to ensure my compliance with the Conflict of Interest Act.
