The federal ethics watchdog says the head of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission did not breach the Conflict of Interest Act when he held meetings with large telecom providers while they had files before the regulator.

One of the meetings scrutinized involved CRTC head Ian Scott and senior BCE Inc. and Bell Canada executive Mirko Bibic in an Ottawa pub in December 2019.
