Re: All expenses paid for hockey night to CRTC guy by Bell said by DKS:said by Free Stuff :According to ethics experts, Pentefountas didn't break the rules but operated in a gray area.
"There's sometimes a fine line between lobbying and social activities," said Raymond Hudon, a Laval University professor who specializes in lobbying issues.
Exactly. No COI, as he didn't personally benefit. But a grey area. And not illegal, either. Move on. No story here. He got a box seat so how is that not a personal benefit which is a COI.I get moved up to a box seat I sure as hell think thats a benefit.Maybe I'm just not rich enough to understand politics like you DKS.
Reporting meetings means nothing either to bell
"Bell officials met Pentefountas five times between December 21, 2011, and March 17, 2012, with the last meeting coming the day after the announcement of the bid. " All reported.
If you want to see bell flaunt power over the CRTC you just have to read the R&V section for 2011-703 | |

Accepting a box seat is not a COI. It may be bad optically, but he did pay for admission to the game himself. The rest is, in relation to the issue, irrelevant.
