Treasury Board president Tony Clement has been cleared of allegations of unethical conduct.
However, Clement has been warned by the ethics watchdog about improperly using his ministerial title to promote local enterprises.
In a report published Wednesday, it was concluded that Clement did not give preferential treatment to a business and its owners when he appeared in a 2008 promotional video for the firm, based in Huntsville, Ontario.
The watchdog agency says he should not have identified himself as a minister, but rather just as an Member of Parliament for the riding.
