It has a finger in every pie Big construction; Can government afford to act?

The Gazette, August 6th 2011 -- In the 1970s, Lalonde, Valois, Lamarre, Valois et associés - later known as SNC-Lavalin - built the Ville Marie Expressway. In 2008, SNC-Lavalin inspected the expressway for the government, sounding the alarm on its "critical" state. The company then became part of the consortium that drew up the plans to fix the Ville Marie, and supervise the work that had begun when the ceiling collapsed last Sunday.
