Inside SNC-Lavalin : how crime and politics almost killed a great Canadian company / by Stevenson, Lawrence,author.;
"A riveting insider's account of the most explosive Canadian scandal of the last decade. The SNC-Lavalin affair dominated Canadian headlines in 2019, pushing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government to the brink and casting one of the nation's largest and most successful companies as a villain looking to escape the consequences of its actions. Former company director and chairman, Larry Stevenson, challenges the narratives surrounding the scandal and reveals a far more complex story. This riveting insider account examines how the small group of executives who betrayed the company were brought to justice, and how corporate leaders fought to save SNC-Lavalin from financial ruin and foreign takeover. With disarming frankness, Stevenson delves into the flawed handling of corporate crime by Canadian prosecutors, global double standards around corruption, and the systemic issues that left the company vulnerable in an unprecedented political power struggle in Ottawa. This is a candid, gripping exploration of corruption, accountability, and the tension between justice and survival in the modern business world."--
