'Nature and gravity' of SNC allegations meant no offer of DPA: prosecutor

The prosecutor's office also pointed to the “degree of involvement” of senior company officers and said the Montreal-based firm “did not self-report” the conduct that gave rise to the charges, SNC-Lavalin reveals in the court documents.

The engineering and construction giant faces prosecution over allegations it paid millions of dollars in bribes to obtain government business in Libya from 2001 to 2011. SNC-Lavalin has been at the centre of a national political storm since February, when the Globe and Mail newspaper reported that prime ministerial aides leaned on Wilson-Raybould, while she was attorney general, to ensure a remediation agreement for the company.The director of prosecutions formally told SNC-Lavalin on Oct. 9, 2018, that negotiating an agreement would be inappropriate in this particular case, prompting the company to ask the Federal Court for an order requiring talks.

The company notes testimony before the House of Commons justice committee made it clear that on Sept. 4, 2018, director of prosecutions Kathleen Roussel provided Wilson-Raybould with a memo that apparently outlined the prosecutor's case against a remediation agreement. Following the Sept. 5 phone call, the public prosecutor agreed to receive additional SNC-Lavalin information addressing the three newly stated concerns, the company says. Its subsequent submissions came in letters to the prosecutor Sept. 7 and Sept. 17.

Definitely a legal issue, also political. I wonder how JT feels this morning with part of his caucus standing with their back to him. It’s both, there now it’s settled. This gov. tried to save canadian jobs to go to the UK or the US. So what now? I mean, I get the idea, but we all know now that she was not pure in her intentions. I’ll back canadian jobs before the the ego of an ex justice minister. Any day.
