Bid-rigging Fine in Granby Region
The Competition Bureau Canada announced that Serge Daunais, a former executive of Pavages Maska Inc., was fined $20,000 for bid-rigging related to a paving contract with the Ministère des Transports du Québec in the Granby region. This case involved illegal collusion with competitors, impacting pricing and contract awards.
