13. Full-time officers may not, on pain of penalty, have a direct or indirect interest in a body, enterprise or association entailing a conflict between their personal interest and that of the bureau. However, no penalty may be imposed if such interest devolves on them by succession or gift, provided that they renounce it or dispose of it promptly.
Any other director or officer who has a direct or indirect interest in a body, enterprise or association entailing a conflict between his or her personal interest and that of the bureau must disclose the interest in writing to the chair of the board of directors and, where applicable, refrain from participating in any deliberation or any decision pertaining to the body, enterprise or association in which he or she has that interest. In addition, the director or officer must withdraw from the meeting for the time required by the board of directors to deliberate and vote on the matter.
This section does not prevent an elected director from expressing opinions about general measures applicable to lessees.
