Prime minister should be required to divest assets, says committee
CBC News·April 23, 2026
Summary
A government committee thinks the Prime Minister and future leaders should sell off their investments when they get the job. This is because just hiding the investments in a "blind trust" might not be enough to avoid conflicts of interest. Selling everything would make sure leaders are making decisions for the good of the country, not their own wallets.
