The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that former SNC-Lavalin chief executive officer Jacques Lamarre has been found guilty of seven of 14 allegations of misconduct made against him by Quebec's professional order for engineers. The Globe's Aajah Sauter writes that last fall, the disciplinary council of L'Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec began several days of hearings to decide whether Mr. Lamarre infringed the organization's code of ethics and professional duties in the early 2000s when he was CEO of SNC, now known as Atkinsréalis. These hearings followed an investigation by the Ordre's Office of the Syndic, which then launched a formal complaint against the former executive. The Syndic made 14 separate allegations against Mr. Lamarre as part of its disciplinary complaint. They link broadly to SNC's past business conduct as it sought contracts in Libya, as well as past political financing activities in Montreal. L'Ordre concluded that SNC under Mr. Lamarre's leadership directly or indirectly made payments amounting to about $2-million to the family of former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, notably for expenses incurred by his son Saadi while he stayed in Canada. L'Ordre said it will set a date for sanctions.
