8. The president and chief executive officer may not have a direct or indirect interest in a body, enterprise or association that places his or her personal interests in conflict with those of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales. If such an interest devolves to the president and chief executive officer, including by succession or gift, it must be renounced or disposed of with dispatch.
Any other board member who has a direct or indirect interest in a body, enterprise or association that places the member’s personal interests in conflict with those of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales must disclose it in writing to the chair of the board and abstain from participating in any discussion or decision involving that body, enterprise or association. The member must also withdraw from a meeting while the matter is discussed or voted on.
This section does not prevent a board member from expressing an opinion on general measures relating to conditions of employment within Bibliothèque et Archives nationales that would also apply to the board member.
