That term is not used (or all that relevant) here, but there is a Conflict of Interest Act. And on occasion a bit of controversy.

‘I condemn your racism’: New Democrat MPP Gurratan Singh confronted at Muslim festival
Singh stopped and responded to the man’s anti-Muslim remarks at the event in Mississauga, Ont.

———————————————

My comments.  1) Watch the video.  2)  There are numerous community-specific justice systems in Canada.  Nobody ever complained until Sharia Law became an issue.  3) Ontario Member of the Provincial Legislature (MPP) Gurratan Singh is the brother of the leader of the federal New Democratic Party (NDP) Jagmeet Singh.

Trump tactics echo Venezuela’s populist Maduro and put Canada at risk, says former diplomat


Both men leverage existing divisions within their countries, positioning themselves as leaders uniquely able to help one group gain victory over another, he said.

A family from Quebec drove home from Florida with a dead body in the backseat
The family's patriarch had apparently died of a heart attack and they didn't want to deal with American hospitals and health care

A vacation to Florida ended tragically for the Drapeau family of Quebec, whose patriarch Fernand, 87, died on the drive home.

His wife and son, wary about the cost and hassle of going to an American hospital and getting Fernand’s body repatriated, decided to just keep driving to their Ormstown home, in Quebec’s Montérégie region.

It wasn’t until they got to the Canada-U.S. border at Hemmingford, Que., that the Drapeaus were stopped and searched. It’s unclear at what point in the road trip exactly the man had died. Authorities believe he had been dead for at least a day before the family reached the Canadian border.

A border official called it a “first.” (...)
