Its a way to limit the collateral damage done by the law.

It's logical and proper and not doing it is hiughly questionable.

As Ms Copps pointed out - if it was 9,000 First Nations jobs at stake the DPA would have been perfectly alright

Speculative, unfounded racist rhetoric; typical of politics and especially of Sheila Copps, the erstwhile Rat Pack's leader and most shrill & obnoxious Rat.

Wernicke has quit, btw.

Schilling for a PM that has illegally tried to force his Attourny General to rule on a point of law HIS way because he's afraid that Canada is going to dissolve into violence (!) tells me, anyway that the man is not only unfit for his office but is also a little bonkers. He needs to get out more. Go to a strip joint in Hull, now and again ...

What damage is that? The loss of votes from an island in the St Larry?

I hope he flushed before leaving the Privy.

Actually, SNC-Lavalin does directly employ some 8700 people across Canada.

And contrary to what the spud claims, those jobs would more than likely be completely safe.

Liberal fears aside, 9,000 SNC-Lavalin jobs likely safe

Too bad Trudeau wasn't actually concerned with saving jobs, there's about 110,000 energy sector workers that would likely welcome some support. Too bad all this blather about saving Canadian jobs was just a load of empty, rhetorical bullshit.

I think when the day comes that Trudeau starts looking back over his career, his biggest regret will be the day he started tangling with Jody Wilson - Raybould. I suppose it may be some solace in that it was a person of character who brought him down!

SNC -Lavalin was forbidden from bidding on federal contracts already. In Dec. 2015 Groper's govt allowed them to bid on federal contracts again claiming "it was in the best interests of Canada and Canadians". So, if they haven't done anything wrong since Dec. 2015, why the need to push through a DPA specifically at SNC's request? And why the need to hide the legislation by burying it in a 500+ page omnibus budget bill? What laws did SNC (or the Liberals for that matter) break since Dec. 2015 that Stupid needed to push this legislation through by hook or by crook?

It IS interesting to note that one of the first things Groper did after getting elected was permit SNC to bid on federal contracts again. Wow, talk about convenient timing. The head of SNC is a big Liberal party supporter. The headquarters is in Montreal. The Quebec pension fund owns a 20% stake in SNC-Lavalin. Yeah, this DPA and its weird timing is all about 9000 piddly jobs. Funny how Butts didn't seem to care about killing thousands of good paying jobs with his policy "advice" for Ontario. Hell, they even managed to chase out the turbine factories they bragged so hard about attracting to Ontario. :lol:

Yeah, the day I believe this is really about jobs will be the day I believe you actually give two shits about firearm fatalities.
