Canada Infrastructure Bank CEO Added to Reporting

Summary#

This is SOR/2026-19, an order that adds the Chief Executive Officer of the Canada Infrastructure Bank to the list of people who must report under the Conflict of Interest Act. The order was registered on February 5, 2026 and published in the Canada Gazette on February 25, 2026; it came into force on the day it was registered.

What it does#

• Amends the Order Designating Public Office Holders and Reporting Public Office Holders under Section 62.2 of the Conflict of Interest Act by adding a new paragraph that names the Chief Executive Officer appointed under subsection 9(1) of the Canada Infrastructure Bank Act.
• Makes minor wording fixes to the surrounding list so the new item fits grammatically.
• The change takes effect on the registration date (February 5, 2026).

Who's affected#

• The person who holds the position of Chief Executive Officer at the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
• The Canada Infrastructure Bank as an organization, because its CEO will be subject to the reporting rules.
• People who watch public disclosures about officials’ outside interests and potential conflicts — journalists, watchdog groups, and members of the public who follow transparency in federal institutions.

Why it matters#

• It brings the Canada Infrastructure Bank CEO into the set of officials required to make public conflict-of-interest reports under the Conflict of Interest Act, increasing transparency about that office-holder’s private interests.
• That transparency can help identify or prevent conflicts where the bank’s decisions touch on projects or companies tied to the CEO’s financial or business interests.
• The order itself is short and procedural. The Gazette text does not spell out the exact contents or timing of the reports here, only that the CEO is now a designated reporting public office holder.
