expressing concerns that possibly the largest single contract, on the Mega
Project, might be awarded to an Italian company. Skinner acknowledged that his
current employer, a Canadian Company called AECON Construction Group, also bid

argue, is much less than when you bring in a company from Europe”, he was
quoted as saying.

‘Shawn’, I
thought to myself, as I read the morning rag and sipped on a Starbucks, ‘you
got to tell us this stuff! I have been

is going to get ratcheted up, if things don’t go your way, er…if the contract
goes offshore.
