On February 3, 2022, in the exercise of my official power, duties and functions, I delegated my statutory responsibility to make a determination of likely net benefit regarding the proposed acquisition of Baylis Medical Company Inc. by Boston Scientific Medical Device (Canada) Inc. under the Investment Canada Act, so as to avoid the perceived appearance of conflict of interest in connection with Mr. Frank Baylis, an acquaintance of mine as a former caucus colleague from 2015 to 2019. I have delegated my authority on this matter to the current Director of Investments, the Deputy Minister for Innovation, Science and Economic Development.
