Compiled from the Parliamentary and Executive Members' Ethics registers, provincial legislature profiles, and published investigative reporting. Where declarations are not publicly accessible, the data gap is recorded as-is and never filled with estimated figures. Conflict-of-interest and unexplained-wealth notes are contextual analysis of public records, not findings of guilt.
