As its head of transition investing, Brookfield Asset Management had granted Prime Minister Carney options in 2023 and 2024 that he hadn’t exercised, according to its latest annual report. If he’d used the options and sold the shares Dec. 31, he’d have netted just over US$6.8 million, it said. US$4 million in salary and US$3.5 million in bonuses were split among Carney and two executives, the report said (it aggregated payments to all three). They also got private executive medical care.

Talking point: Carney’s campaign said that he had set up a blind trust to take control of his holdings before he won the Liberal leadership race; on Monday he responded testily to questions about potential conflicts of interest, saying he was following all the necessary ethics rules. Carney also resigned from his board positions at Bloomberg and Stripe before running for Liberal leader, but those companies are privately held and don’t report the same information publicly as Brookfield does.
