Prince Edward Island bills

This PEI bill amends the Conflict of Interest Act to create an exception for Ministers who hold a licence (or own a corporation that holds a licence) that legally cannot be transferred, assigned, or placed in a trust — allowing them to keep the licence and continue operating under it without being deemed in a conflict of interest, provided they disclose the situation to the Conflict of Interest Commissioner.
