KPrime submitted a lower bid than Nuctech – $5.4 million – but it was ruled out by the committee at Public Services and Procurement Canada that chose the winning bidder.
“The government of Canada violated its own terms and conditions, which say you can’t award a contract if the company is involved in the bribery of foreign officials,” he said. “There is enough evidence available on the World Wide Web to show that Nuctech is again and again involved in the bribing of foreign officials,” said Lin.
KPrime’s complaint did not delve into security concerns but Nuctech has attracted the attention of Western security agencies because of its links to the Chinese Communist Party. The company was founded by the son of former General Secretary of the CCP, Hu Jintao.
Good call. Canada government facilities must be manned, supplied, and maintained by Canadians & Canadian companies. For security first & foremost. But fiscal transparency & dependability as well.
Chinese bends the world over with a global pandemic and get rewarded with trade deals, very cool!
Get rid of this deal. Rip it up.
