The leader of Canada’s Conservative Party promised to introduce legislation that he says would limit politicians’ financial and lobbying-related conflicts of interest if he wins the country’s April 28 election.

Pierre Poilievre said he would ban unregistered lobbying, require politicians to disclose where they paid taxes in the last seven years, and require cabinet ministers to “divest fully from tax havens.”
