The latest person to testify at the Charbonneau Commission Wednesday was the former vice president of Genviar François Perreault.

The Montreal Gazette reports Perreault explained exactly how money flowed from Quebec’s largest engineering firm to Union Montreal.

Perreault estimates Genviar passed over $300 000 to Union Montreal between 2004 and 2008.

The firm used registered companies in Quebec who never did any work to transfer the money discreetly.

These companies filed false invoices to Genviar for work and Genviar provided a cheque as payment.

The former vice-president of major Quebec engineering firm Genivar took to the stand for a second day at the Charbonneau Commission on Wednesday.

François Perreault continued his testimony by revealing how his firm funneled money to the city’s most powerful municipal political party.

From 2004 to 2008 Genivar funneled between $300,000 and $400,000 to Union Montreal, according to the Gazette.

Perreault testified that the scheme included false invoices and using smaller companies as fronts for moving the money.

After a recess, Charles Meunier, who worked for engineering firm BPR, took the stand.
