MNP’s administration of the Commercial Vehicle Innovation Challenge and the Advanced Research and Commercialization grants was suspended, she said. The company denies the allegations and says it welcomes the independent review. MNP declined an interview request this week. Nick Greenfield, its senior vice-president of marketing, sent a statement saying it can’t comment on specific applications. However, the statement said the company welcomes the Auditor-General’s review and that its conflict-of-interest policies and procedures prohibit team members from writing grants for programs it administers.

He told the representative, as well as opposition politicians, that MNP had approached his company offering to write grant proposals about a week before Edison’s application was denied. He said he declined MNP’s business because its rates were astronomical.
