IV. Conflicts of Interest and Protection of the Public InterestThe Terms of Reference require that the following two questions be addressed in relation to the conflicts issue:
In response to these two questions, section A describes in detail the current provisions of Manitoba's legislation containing conflict of interest provisions. Section B provides information on the views of a variety of Manitobans on this issue as gathered through our process of submissions and consultations. Finally, section C contains my analysis of whether amendments are recommended to include persons in common-law relationships and if so, utilizing what approach. I then analyze how this approach can best be reconciled with the privacy concerns of some same-sex common-law couples. A summary of my recommendations flowing from this analysis are set out in the recommendations section D.
