The engineering and project management company agreed with Quebec prosecutors to pay $29.6 million over three years to settle criminal bribery charges.
Wilson-Raybould refused to pursue a remediation agreement with the company, and claimed this was why she was ousted from the portfolio, though Trudeau denied the allegations. “It’s like it sat dormant because no one wanted to touch it because it seemed like political kryptonite,” Quaid said. “I don’t know if that’s actually true, but it seems interesting that it took four years for the first one to come out after that.”
Four of its executives still face corruption and bribery charges, but the company co-operated with investigators and signed remediation agreement shortly after being charged in September 2022. “We have yet to see what these agreements might look like in relation to more current things, things that haven’t sat basically on ice waiting for resolution mechanism,” she said. “It could be still several years before you see one where the corruption only starts in 2018, as opposed to ends.”Article content
