as the ever astute waldo surmised, the prosecution did not want to take this to trial... the fact they dropped (stayed) the majority of charges (including Corruption) is a testimony to just how weak their case MUST HAVE BEEN! Of course it was the ALLEGED corruption that was believed to be behind the PPSC decision not to offer a DPA. And now... that alleged corruption charge was stayed! Wassup with that, hey member kimmy! 

Hey, if the prosecution's case was so weak, why did SNC make a plea bargain at all? Why shell out $280 million if the prosecution had no case?  Why did SNC-Lavalin go to such lengths to get a DPA if the prosecution had no case? Is SNC-Lavalin's legal counsel so incompetent that they caused their employer to waste $280 million  on a case they would have won in court? I can only imagine how deeply SNC-Lavalin regrets that they didn't hire you as their legal advisor, rather than whichever incompetent goofs they hired to get this plea agreement done.

Of course, as the ever-astute waldo presumes to know the Director of Prosecution's job better than she does, presumes to know the Ethics Commissioner's job better than he does, it should be no surprise that the ever-astute waldo also believes he knows SNC-Lavalin's lawyer's job better than they do.

let the waldo school you a tad: on a general basis one of the key reasons DPAs are a chosen route to deal with corporate malfeasance (fraud, corruption) is that the corporation defendant, by DPA agreement terms, agrees to bring corroborating evidence forward... evidence that, typically, may not be available otherwise. I look forward to you bringing forward statements/analysis from ANYONE suggesting PPSC had a "slam dunk" case against SNC-L... ANYONE, hey member kimmy - ANYONE!

you seem to speak as if SNC-L was the driver in this plea bargain!  ... you tell me why all charges, save the one, were stayed by the prosecution. Apparently, to member kimmy, PPSC stayed all those charges... cause its case was just too strong in proving them! The only, as you say, incompetent goof here is YOU.
