The Quebec-based company has been working to set a new strategic direction over the past year.

Bebawi, who was sentenced in January to eight years and six months in prison for fraud and corruption, has also been fined $24.6 million in lieu of additional crime proceeds.

The program involved giving recent grads and students access to up to $5,000 for volunteer work with non-profit organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Canadians should expect no less, Rob Breakenridge says.

The investigation also resulted in guilty pleas by four former executives of engineering firms.

The company is tethered to Montreal for the next four years through the strings attached to a $1.5-billion loan from Quebec's pension fund manager that allowed SNC to acquire British competitor WS Atkins in 2017.

Former SNC-Lavalin CEO Neil Bruce also took in $4.2 million in share-based awards, a bonus of about $670,000 and "other compensation'' of $891,000.

SNC-Lavalin is withdrawing its financial guidance for 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion says no reason to believe Michael Wernick broke the rules.

"Residents are frustrated and they are angry," Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said at a press conference on Tuesday.
