The statement noted that ‘automated train lines are popular around the world and that growth has brought more choice in the market.’
B.C.’s Transportation Ministry says there is nothing that would force the province to contract with SNC-Lavalin or Bombardier to build new SkyTrain rapid-transit lines in Metro Vancouver because those companies don’t have any patents on the needed components for the system.
But Ms. Hardwick’s request for a pause in any progress on approvals for the line while more investigation is done on the two companies was shot down by her fellow councillors, one of whom questioned whether Ms. Hardwick was motivated more by her opposition to the project than by her concern about the two companies.
In response to the council decision, a spokesperson for SNC, Daniela Pizzuto, reiterated what the company has been saying for months, which is that its management and practices were significantly changed in 2012 and corruption issues are related to the company’s actions before that date.Bombardier spokesperson Jessica McDonald responded Wednesday that “Bombardier has been a very reliable transportation partner for Vancouver for more than three decades.
