SNC-Lavalin was given a pandemic relief contract worth $150 million, according to records obtained by Blacklock's Reporter.
SNC-Lavalin made headlines in 2019 after it was found that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau inappropriately influenced then-Minister of Justice and Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to intervene in an ongoing criminal case against the engineering giant.
"A contract in support of the government's Covid-19 response was awarded to SNC-Lavalin on April 8, 2020 to design and deliver mobile health units," a Department of Public Works Inquiry of Ministry reads. "The contract is valued at $150,000,000."
SNC-Lavalin has been fined $280 million since 2019, in connection to bribing Libyan officials to win contracts.
"Everything about this government's relationship with SNC-Lavalin is highly questionable," said New Democrat MP Charlie Angus in an interview on SNC matter. "We look like a banana republic."
"Is it that if a company gets to be a certain size the rules don’t apply to them anymore?" said Angus. "I put it to the government: Are they going to send a message to corporations that corruption will not be tolerated, or is it dismissed with a wink?"
The disgraced construction firm SNC-Lavalin who was at the centre of the Trudeau government's high-profile scandal has continued to win millions in federal contracts.
Despite their corruption charges, SNC-Lavalin has continued to be eligible for government contracts. The Quebec-based firm agreed to pay $1.9 million in fines and has been under over suspicious bidding on municipal projects, according to Blacklock's Reporter.
