The company has been at the centre of a political controversy for weeks.
SNC-Lavalin CEO Neil Bruce is photographed in Toronto on March 20, 2019.
"We have never put forward anything that is purely an economic argument about jobs and why we think we qualify for a DPA ," he said in an interview."We put forward an argument in terms of the public interest."The charges stem from allegations the engineering firm paid millions of dollars in bribes to win government business in Libya between 2001 and 2011.
SNC said countries around the world have made this tool available to their prosecution and that Canada was at a competitive disadvantage until it passed its own version of the DPA."If the remediation agreement is not available to SNC-Lavalin, the company will continue to vigorously pursue a path that allows it to move forward and defend its innocent employees to the fullest as it moves forward through the Canadian court system.
Codelco said SNC-Lavalin failed to live up to its commitments under a US$260-million contract attached to one of the world's largest open pit copper mine, citing quality issues and delays in subcontractor payments and project execution.
