The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition Quebec's securities regulator is investigating a former BCE employee over allegations of insider trading and tipping involving three deals that spanned her employment at the telco. The Globe's Ahmad Hathout writes the Autorite des marches financiers (AMF) alleges the insider trading scheme involved Renee Morier, a former executive assistant to BCE chief financial officer Siim Vanaselja, and some family members and friends. The AMF alleged the group of seven made profits of more than $1-million between 2012 and 2015. The AMF alleged that at the time of her employment at BCE, Ms. Morier "communicated privileged information related to the acquisitions of Glentel Inc., Bell Aliant Inc. and Astral Media Inc. to certain family members and friends," who then used that information to trade securities in these companies. The regulator said BCE is not a target and that the telco is co-operating with the investigation. Also under investigation are Ms. Morier's spouse, Sylvain Milette; her parents, Marie Fenez and Raymond Morier; her friend Francis Beauchamp, an engineer at Montreal-based construction firm Verreault; and his parents, Jeanne Brule and Alain Beauchamp.
