Mr. Chair, I move:
That the motion be amended by:
1. by replacing the words:
“an assessment was undertaken relating to the application of the Prime Minister's conflict of interest screen, pursuant to the assessment tool on the application of the Prime Minister's conflict of interest screen, including assessments originating in the PCO or any department, from the previous month; these reports must include (i) a summary of each instance where an assessment was triggered; (ii) the record of the outcome of each analysis; (iii) any records of discussions or considerations that are in the possession of the PCO or any department related to each analysis, including notes and meeting minutes; and (iv) any correspondence related to each analysis, including emails, text messages, instant messages and other records of conversations; and the first report, which shall be provided to the committee by no later than June 15, 2026, shall include the complete set of information for each assessment since the Prime Minister's conflict of interest screen came into effect; and”
with the words:
“the Prime Minister’s conflict of interest screen has been applied. Given that the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner has advised the Prime Minister against learning of when his screen has been applied until a decision has been finalized and made public, such decisions shall be shared after this point, subject to any limitations or privileges that may apply such as national security or cabinet confidence”; and
2. by adding the following:
“(b) require the Privy Council Office (PCO) to provide the committee, as necessary, any updates to the assessment process for applying the Prime Minister’s conflict of interest screen;”.
