Government during that time in Canada became famous for several corruption cases – Ref: Various reports in Canadian media.

15. Based on the consultant's report and further discussions, the Board signed contracts with Lavalin to provide technical services for management, engineering, procurement and construction supervision in February 1996, to ensure completion of the projects within three years. Agreement does not include the purchase of machineries and the total amount to be paid to SNC Lavalin was just 24 Crores .
22. Commission !!! “ The final contract for supply of equipment and engineering services was finalised by a Ministerial delegation directly with the consultant who was acting as an intermediary and was not the manufacturer. The supply of goods and services were actually made by other firms at much higher cost leading to extra avoidable payments.” (CAG Report)
