Bobert, at present there is the Charbonneau Commission which is investigating corruption in the construction industry of Quebec. Kickbacks, contracts coming in way above the agreed upon cost, influence peddling, etc. It's not like corruption in the industry hasn't been known about here. Hell, every man/woman on the street has been aware of it for at least 40 years. Anyway, at last there is an attempt to deal with the problem. It has already caused Montreal's Mayor to resign, and the Commission's scope will also look into political campaign financing. It's big, and there will I expect be some vertical trips down the river for some who have testified. Indeed, things are not always done correctly.
