"This lawsuit is about WestJet committing corporate espionage"
Frome the Globe: 11/11/04
Air Canada said in a written response to Mr. Beddoe's comments yesterday: "This lawsuit is about WestJet committing corporate espionage on a massive scale. Former WestJet executive, Mark Hill, previously admitted that he surreptitiously accessed Air Canada's confidential employee website almost a quarter of a million times over a 12-month period. Recent documents received from WestJet reveal that Mr. Beddoe and other executives had full knowledge of the improper access and use of Air Canada's proprietary information. Air Canada's lawsuit meets our obligation to stakeholders to protect the company's competitive position."
