“All board members and any employees found to have financial decision-making abilities are provided a copy of the policy on conflict of interest and are required to disclose any conflicts. If a conflict is disclosed, the full board, less the conflicted member, will determine the appropriate action to be taken. Additionally, employees, at the time of their employment, are required to sign a conflict of interest statement that imposes an on-going obligation to disclose any conflicts that might arise. In the event an employee has a potential conflict of interest, the potential conflict is raised to the general counsel, and appropriate measures are taken. In the case of an employee with a financial interest in a vendor that does business with the ministry, the transaction is reviewed by disinterested members of executive management, and in appropriate cases, competitive bids are obtained to assure that the transaction is fair and equitable. Conflict of interest statements are signed yearly.”
