CONFLICT OF INTEREST, LOYALTY AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT I, [employee name], acknowledge and agree to the following: 1.

That as an employee of Y [Member of Parliament/House Officer/Research Bureau] (my

employer), I recognize the unique nature of my employment and, in particular, the politically sensitive and partisan environment in which my duties will be carried out and which require utmost trust. 2. That I will serve my employer in good faith and loyalty and, to that end, will seek my

employers consent prior to undertaking any other work, service contract for consulting and professional services, businesses, volunteer work or other activities that may appear to present a conflict of interest or be contrary to any policy established by the Board of Internal Economy. 3. That I will avoid any activity, business venture or interest that might reflect unfavourably

upon the integrity or good name of my employer and the House of Commons or affect my judgment in carrying out my duties. 4. That I will not act contrary to any policy established by the Board of Internal Economy.

In particular, I will not provide services under contract to, or benefit from any such contractual arrangement with, my employer, another Member of Parliament, a House Officer, a Research Office or with the House of Commons. 5. That I will disclose, in a timely fashion, any gifts, gratuities and payments by third parties

in the course of my employment. 6. That information to which I may become privy in the course of my employment relating

to the activities and work of my employer is politically sensitive and confidential and that I will not divulge such information except as may be required by law. 7. That any breach of this Agreement is a basis for termination of employment without

notice or pay in lieu of notice. 8. That this Agreement survives the termination of employment. In the event of a post-

employment breach of this Agreement, in addition to any other legal or administrative recourse available to my employer or the House of Commons, I will repay any amount equal to any termination pay received on termination of employment. I attest that I have read and understand this agreement.
