LOL... Tell me which company in this world does not propose bribes to get a contract?
Contract kickbacks are a disease that has to be eliminated and it is absolutely correct that the more enlightened western countries are taking a zero-tolerance policy towards this cancer.
I work in Nigeria where no contract is ever signed by state governors unless they receive a massive kickback to their personal bank accounts - the result is disgraceful. Whole airports get built just so the state governor can get a kickback (e.g. Jalingo airport) and are never used by any aircraft except the state governors personal jets.
I hope those Bombardier execs get jail sentences (and their Rolls Royce homologues - and anybody else who pays bribes to win contracts).
