Is this the definition of corruption? Interestingly the SNC Head Office is located in Mr. Trudeau's personal federal riding in the city of Montreal. Political corrupton inevitably leads to repressive authoritarian governments. Fluffy the Cat 

"On Aug. 14, Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion released his report into the SNC-Lavalin affair, the political scandal that has led to the ouster of two cabinet ministers, the resignation of one of the prime minister's key aides and opposition calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down.

The scandal all centres on one key question: did the prime minister, someone in his office or other government officials try to pressure Jody Wilson-Raybould when she was attorney general to step in and resolve the corruption and fraud case against SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. in an effort to spare the Montreal-based engineering giant from criminal prosecution?

Trudeau has repeatedly denied any inappropriate actions on his part or senior figures in his administration. But Dion found that the prime minister had "directly and through his senior officials used various means to exert influence" over Wilson-Raybould. Those actions, said Dion, violated Section 9 of the Conflict of Interest Act."
