OTTAWA — The federal government has blown its own timeline to unveil an update to Canada's corporate-misconduct provisions, including changes that could help SNC-Lavalin avoid being barred from lucrative federal contracts. However, SNC-Lavalin could still see a shorter suspension from federal contracts — or perhaps none at all — if the proposed update to the integrity regime comes into force.

The integrity regime was designed to ensure the government only does business with ethical companies in Canada and abroad.
