Competition Bureau Canada
Road construction company Construction DJL Inc. has been ordered to pay $1.5 million in connection with bid rigging for ministère des Transports du Québec paving contracts in the Granby region of Québec.
The payment is part of a settlement between the Public Prosecution Service of Canada and Construction DJL filed today with the Superior Court of Québec. The settlement ends the Competition Bureau's investigation of the company's role in a bid-rigging scheme between 2008 and 2009.
The settlement takes into account the fact that :
- Construction DJL previously reimbursed overpayments related to the bid-rigging scheme through the Government of Québec's Voluntary Reimbursement Program and that;
- the individuals involved in the scheme no longer work for the company.
As part of the settlement, the Court has also ordered the company to follow its corporate compliance program and to maintain appropriate control procedures to ensure its effectiveness.
