The report finds Scott’s relationship with the Bell executive did not meet the definition of friendship outlined in the act and that the relationship is “exclusively professional.” The matter was referred to Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion in April this year by the public sector integrity commissioner.

Dion notes in the report that whether the meeting raises a “reasonable apprehension of bias” is before the Federal Court of Appeal and is a separate case.

Ethics watchdog clears CRTC head Ian Scott over 2019 meeting at bar with incoming Bell CEOIan Scott and Mirko Bibic are not actually friends, so meeting at an Ottawa bar in 2019 raised no conflict of interest, ethic commissioner says. Canadians seem to have a new definition of ethics, courtesy Justin Trudeau and his Liberals. Of course they did. No accountability for conflict of interest when wining & dining 😡 Yet another institutional failure in the Canadian telco industry. Protip: You don't have to be someone's friend to give them favourable treatment--or accept bribes from them.
