SNC-Lavalin allegedly paid to get MUHC contract

SNC-Lavalin may be in more hot water after another scheme involving it has surfaced.

In a report by CBC News, the company is alleged to have paid to get the McGill Superhospital contract. According to La Presse, payments of 22 million dollars were part of a scheme made public last February by the company itself.

SNC’s president Robert Card refused to comment on the allegations. He also stated that the company must deliver the goods to regain the trust of investors.

The anti-corruption unit raided the MUHC’s offices two weeks ago and requested documents pertaining to the acquisition of the 1.3 billion dollar contract.

SNC-Lavalin is currently involved in two RCMP investigations. The first relates to alleged corruption surrounding the building of a bridge in Bangladesh. The second involves 56 million dollar payments allegedly made for two unspecified projects, one being in Africa.
