OTTAWA (CP) - The Mounties and federal transportation regulators have dropped their investigations of Conservative MP Gurmant Grewal over an incident at Vancouver International Airport.
Grewal had tried on June 4 to get other passengers in a waiting area of the airport to carry a package for him to Ottawa.
But the RCMP say there was nothing criminal about the Newton-North Delta MP's actions.
RCMP Cpl. Peter Thiessen has told a Richmond, B.C., newspaper that there might have been an offence had Grewal done what he allegedly did prior to clearing security screening.
But Thiessen says since Grewal had already passed through security, there was no criminal offence.
Transport Canada has also cleared Grewal of any wrongdoing.
In a letter to the MP, the agency's manager of security operations says Grewal did not contravene the Aeronautics Act.
Grewal went on stress leave a few days after the incident, and gave up his parliamentary duties.
Air Canada is still conducting its own investigation.
