Yes, the government is informed. As I said in my remarks, as soon as a flag is raised, the deputy secretary to the Privy Council and cabinet, meaning the person responsible for governance, is informed. Measures are then taken immediately to prevent the conflict.
To put it simply, the Prime Minister divested his assets. It was agreed with the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner that, in the case of certain companies, the Prime Minister would avoid participating in meetings where the Government of Canada had to make decisions about them. The list of these companies was drawn up as a preventive measure. We established a system to ensure that the Prime Minister wouldn't run the risk of facing a conflict of interest.
It isn't a remediation measure. It doesn't mean that the Prime Minister is facing a conflict of interest. It serves to ensure that the Prime Minister doesn't end up in a conflict of interest situation.
