9. A board member who exercises functions on a full-time basis within an enterprise may not have a direct or indirect interest in a body, enterprise or association that places the board member’s personal interests in conflict with the enterprise’s interests. If such an interest devolves to the board member, 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 board member’s personal interests in conflict with the enterprise’s interests must disclose it in writing to the chair of the board or, in the case of the chair, to the Minister and the person designated under section 13 and abstain from participating in any discussion or decision involving that body, enterprise or association. The board member must also withdraw from a meeting for the duration of the discussion or vote on such a matter.
This section does not prevent a board member from expressing an opinion on general measures relating to conditions of employment within the enterprise which would also apply to the board member.
