Marcel Roireau has been sentenced to twelve months of house arrest after pleading guilty in the Superior Court of Québec to rigging bids for paving contracts awarded by the ministère des Transports du Québec in and around the Granby region.
Marcel Roireau, who was vice-president of operations for Construction DJL at the time of the offence, admitted to participating in the scheme from 2008 to 2009, in which he colluded with competitors Sintra Inc. and Pavages Maska Inc. to submit rigged bids.
The scheme enabled the conspirators, rather than market forces, to dictate contract winners, prices and the quality of products and services.
The accused pleaded guilty under the bid-rigging provisions of the Competition Act.
