Gérald Fillion argued in a Monday analysis for Radio-Canada (CBC’s French-language counterpart) that SNC-Lavalin is under siege, and in danger. The real question, he wrote, is why the government, why Wilson-Raybould, wouldn’t use the tools Liberals had just put into place. The next day, on Radio-Canada’s news program Le télé journal, an expert on public and private governance, Michel Nadeau, defended the prime minister. “He told Quebecers, ‘Look, with SNC-Lavalin, I did what I had to do,’” Nadeau said in French, paraphrasing Trudeau. Another La Presse columnist, Patrick Lagacé, noted that SNC-Lavalin created this mess in the first place by engaging in corrupt activities.
