THE STENCH GETS STRONGER AT OTTAWA CITY

The legal opinion that compelled city executives to keep SNC-Lavalin alive in the bidding war for the Trillium Line expansion is being kept under lock and key as newly released documents raise more questions about the winning company’s project proposal.

The city last August received an access request, filed by this newspaper, for records explaining the legal opinion or case law used to allow a bid team with a sub-threshold technical score to stay in the Stage 2 contract competition for the Trillium Line.

In a letter dated Jan. 15, city clerk Rick O’Connor said this newspaper’s access request was denied.
