In the exercise of my official duties as Minister of Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs, I recused myself on March 7, 2025, as agreed in my conflict of interest screen, from responding or taking any action in relation to a communication regarding the announcement that Davie Shipyard will build the polar icebreaker from Canada's National Shipbuilding Strategy, in order to avoid any conflict of interest between my official functions and the private interest of my friend, James Irving.
