Rules for Members of the House of Commons

Divestment

The Conflict of Interest Code for Mem​bers of the House of Commons does not broadly prohibit Members from holding certain assets.

However, if the Commissioner believes that assets you hold are likely to affect your obligations under the Code, he may require you to put them in a trust.

Your advisor in the Commissioner’s Office will review your assets during the initial compliance process and advise you if there is any need to divest. Please call 613-995-0721 or send us an email.
