I'm repeating myself, but I decided to sell my assets because a conflict of interest screen protects the Prime Minister. I'm not involved in the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner's request. He didn't ask that a screen be applied to me.
I was well aware of the fact that the Prime Minister had assets in certain activities at Brookfield. To better manage my role, better protect the Prime Minister and better manage the conflict of interest screen, I decided to sell my own assets. So it was not to avoid a conflict of interest, but to simplify things, as I was well aware of the importance of Brookfield in my activities as administrator of the conflict of interest screen.
