Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney, who may become Canada's next prime minister, has spent a great deal of time speaking about climate change and net-zero — but is he also covered in soot?
Carney worked at Brookfield Asset Management as chair and head of impact investing, staring in 2020. He resigned to pursue politics in January 2025.
Brookfield Asset Management has ownership in the Dalrymple Bay Terminal, an Australian coal shipping port that services coal mines in Queensland's Bowen Basin, primarily exporting metallurgical coal used for steel production.
Specifically, through its involvement with Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure (DBI), Brookfield holds a significant stake.
While initially holding 100% ownership, after an IPO in December 2020, Brookfield sold off a 51% stake, retaining about 49% of the company.
Carney does not own direct shares in Brookfield Asset Management, but holds, or held, deferred share units and stock options.
Brookfield Asset Management engages in a wide range of businesses, including real estate, infrastructure, renewable power, private equity, and credit.
Carney was governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and the 120th governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020.
Prior to his governorships, he worked at Goldman Sachs as well as the Department of Finance Canada.
