Eighteen SNC employees directly or indirectly donated a total of about $110,000 to the Liberal Party, and were then reimbursed by the Montreal-based engineering firm, despite the law prohibiting corporate donations. The Liberal Party repaid the donations in 2016, but never disclosed the names of those involved. (CBC News)

Talking point: SNC avoided charges in 2016 by signing a compliance agreement, and promising not to break the law again. Only one SNC executive was charged in the 2016 case, a relatively small number for an election law violation. Two people were charged in the 2014 case of Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro, which centred on alleged spending violations of $21,000. The company is seeking to strike a similar agreement with the federal government over corruption and fraud charges in connection to payments made to Libyan officials. Also on Tuesday, the federal government declined to release documents submitted by SNC regarding the company’s attempt to get a deferred prosecution agreement in that case.
