"SNC-Lavalin’s track record In April this year, the World Bank imposed a ten-year ban on SNC-Lavalin Inc, a subsidiary of SNC-Lavalin and its affiliates. The company may not bid on projects funded by the bank because of a scandal over multimillion-dollar bribes. A joint investigation by CBC News and Toronto’s Globe and Mail found a division of SNC-Lavalin had been using a secret internal accounting code for bribes on projects across Africa and Asia for years. Former CEO Pierre Duhaime and another former top executive, Riadh Ben Aissa, are both facing charges arising from a contract involving the building of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), Canada. Duhaime stepped down in March 2012 after an independent review showed he signed off on Can$56 million in payments to undisclosed agents. Ben Aissa was arrested in April 2012 in Switzerland and is also facing charges relating to alleged corruption, fraud and money laundering in North Africa." THESE are the kinds of people to whom our government sees it fit to award MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR contracts. We Rising!!
