Maybe it's a fault in me; maybe not, but I tend to look for the root causes of things - or as close as I can get by mentally digging for them. It leads me to make radical suggestions that can tend to be mocked, but so be it.
In the current SNC-Lavalin affair with its alleged potential to eliminate thousands of jobs and upset the whole Quebec economy, it seems to me that the original problem lay in permitting SNC and Lavalin to merge in the first place; to create a huge provincial, maybe national monopoly in the design/management of major engineering projects; especially Canadian government ones. Maybe the company should never have been allowed to reach the status of 'too big to fail.'
