He said although those conversations are getting easier over time, ongoing reputational issues continue to affect the company\u2019s ability to bid for work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEffectively, we are locked in the court system,\u201d he said, \u201c[It\u2019s] by trial until you\u2019re either found guilty or not guilty.\u201d<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>Differing interests are at play. SNC wants to resolve the matter without admitting guilt, which could damage its ability to bid for contracts internationally and at home. Ottawa has been trying to get tougher on companies involved in corruption after being rebuked for years on the international stage for its perceived failure to take the matter seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors in February laid rare corruption and fraud charges against Montreal-based SNC, Canada\u2019s largest engineering firm, related to its business in Libya.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, I don&#8217;t know why we&#8217;re so eager to save Libyans from corruption (Libya is still a foreign country, as far as I know), but that&#8217;s a part of law that is currently beside the point. It appears that Mr. Bruce would rather have nice quiet chats with federal bureaucrats regarding allegations of wrongdoing and pay a <s>license fee<\/s> administrative penalty in lieu of court-ordered fines. He also thinks it would be pleasant to avoid admitting wrongdoing, which will make it much harder for aggrieved third parties to go to what is quaintly known as &#8216;public court&#8217; to seek redress.<\/p>\n<p>I have no doubt that the law can be improved &#8211; and certainly the complete destruction of a company due to relatively limited wrongdoing by a tiny part of it seems disproportionate &#8211; but the holus-bolus replacement of the judiciary by well connected political operatives does not sound like much of an improvement to me.<\/p>\n<p>Allister Heath of The Telegraph has some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/finance\/economics\/11978717\/Its-pointless-for-the-Bank-of-England-to-predict-the-unpredictable.html\">well expressed views on economics<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Seeking to predict the unpredictable has certainly kept a lot of people employed in the City of London, and for good reason: there is an immense and unquenchable appetite for their services. Being proved wrong time and again doesn\u2019t really matter: what counts is the plausibility of the forecast and of the way in which it is delivered. In extremis, economics becomes a branch of showbusiness: entertainment and therapy dressed up as science.<\/p>\n<p>We all want to know what exactly will happen to the economy, interest rates and inflation over the next few years; but economies are complex, non-linear systems that cannot meaningfully be predicted by inputting a few variables into a computer. They are just too random for that &#8211; and in any case, the data and statistics at our disposal are too imprecise and subject to endless, drastic revisions. We don\u2019t really know what is happening to the economy today, so how can we possibly know with any degree of precision what will happen in three years\u2019 time? The best we can do is what Nobel prize-winning economist F.A. Hayek called \u201cpattern predictions\u201d and scenario-based forecasts; attempts at spurious accuracy are scientistic rather than scientific, he argued.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was a mixed, mostly negative day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualDiscounts off 22bp, FixedResets down 40bp and DeemedRetractibles gaining 15bp.
