Reporting public office holders must meet the Conflict of Interest Act's reporting requirements.
After they are appointed to their position, they must give the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner a lot of personal and financial information.
They also face ongoing reporting requirements throughout their time in office.
To support transparency and prevent conflicts of interest, the Office makes some of their information public. It maintains a public registry that contains publicly declarable information for ministers, parliamentary secretaries, and other reporting public office holders.
If they miss reporting deadlines, or do not submit accurate and complete reports, reporting public office holders risk administrative monetary penalties of up to $500.
