“There is a crisis in the Mauricie,” Gelinas said. But Gelinas said his members need more money to cover their costs, and that money should come from SNC-Lavalin. The engineering company and two of its affiliates, SNC-Lavalin Construction and SNC-Lavalin International, were charged in 2015 with corruption of a foreign public official and fraud stemming from business dealings in Libya. SNC-Lavalin Construction settled that case in December. The 2014 ruling holds SNC-Lavalin responsible for 70 per cent of roughly $200-million worth of damage to about 800 homes.
