There is ‘no way’ for Carney ‘to not be in conflict,’ says lawyer Ian Stedman of the PM's ethics screen.

The path ahead is being transparent about how conflicts of interest will be mitigated, not trying to remove them altogether.

Thank you, Elizabeth. More to come tomorrow - quite a few outlets reached out.

My humble suggestion is that if PP wants ethics laws to change he should put them in his platform. Force a discussion about who should disclose & when. I see no downside to having this dialogue.
