SNC-Lavalin replaces CEO amid more allegations

SNC is so intertwined with SkyTrain and the Canada Line that everyone should give this a good read.

From the CBC, SNC-Lavalin replaces CEO amid more allegations

The title photo is misleading, SNC did not win the Evergreen Line contract, as it owns the engineering patents for the proprietary SkyTrain mini-metro system. By owning the the engineering contracts, SNC Lavalin was assured of winning the mock bidding process. In fact one could call the Evergreen Line bidding process a “charade”.

This poses an interesting question: Is a mock bidding process illegal in Canada and BC?
