Minimum distance from breaker panel to the window

Hi guys. I want to cut a new window in my basement. There is electric panel on perpendicular wall about 1 feet away. I live in Ontario. Does the code say anything about the minimum distance from the panel to the window?
Thank you.

Greetings from Future Core Electric. The distance from the panel to the window is not specified in the code. However, there is a code that requires a 1-meter space in front of the panel, also there is a required height for headroom above.

As well electrical panels must have highest breaker no higher than eye level...if too high you must lower it or some jurisdictions allow a short railed step.
