Evidence that
the hammer should be brought down on Nalcor continues to pile up.
Ed Martin’s
screening tool for contractors exhibits all the sophistication of Maxwell Smart; the bumbling
Agent 86 in “Get Smart”. The 1960s comedy series is more likely to offer insight into Nalcor's behaviour and Ed Martin's utterances than any other interpretation of a rational and competent outfit managing the province's energy file.
As if the allegations in which SNC
Lavalin is embroiled were not serious enough, the Nalcor CEO gives us Joe Borsellino, the master of memory
tricks, who testified at the Charbonneau Commission Hearings into corruption
into Quebec’s construction industry.
Borsellino’s faulty
recall earned him disbelief from the presiding Madam Justice
Charbonneau though, according to a CBC story, he still “acknowledged contact
with organized crime.”
