OTTAWA - Canada’s Federal Court on Friday rejected a bid by SNC-Lavalin Group Inc to challenge a decision by prosecutors to put the construction company on trial on charges of corruption.
In a ruling, Justice Catherine Kane said the company’s application for a review of the decision “had no reasonable prospect of success.”Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is grappling with a crisis over allegations that top officials pressured Canada’s former attorney general to direct the public prosecutor to strike a deal with the Montreal-based company rather than go ahead with a trial.
It has argued for an out of court settlement, known as a deferred prosecution agreement , saying it had cleaned shop by changing executives and overhauling its ethics and compliance systems in recent years.Trudeau, whose prospects for winning an election in October have dimmed, dodged questions from reporters about the court ruling on Friday, repeating that his government is focused on trying to protect jobs.
Trudeau has been on the defensive for a month over the SNC-Lavalin affair, which has prompted the resignations of former Justice Minister and Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould, Treasury Board President Jane Philpott and Trudeau’s closest political aide, Gerald Butts.
