On June 29th, 2021 and July 14th, 2021, in the exercise of my official duties as Minister of Public Services and Procurement, I recused myself from participating in any discussions and decisions regarding the COVID testing strategy at the Canadian border as there could be implications for OMERS Infrastructure, which is the subject of the conflict of interest screen implemented to ensure my compliance with the Conflict of Interest Act.
