Confidence in the justice system rests on ‘SNC-Lavalin going to trial’: Economist Patricia Adams
Patricia Adams, economist and executive director at Probe International, joins BNN Bloomberg to discuss why she thinks SNC-Lavalin must go through a criminal probe if Canadians are “ever to know who did what” in the case.

Repeal the Act and privatize this Canadian SOE
In its submission to Ottawa’s 2018 Legislative Review of the Export Development Act, Probe International calls for a repeal of the Act and the privatization of Export Development Canada (EDC).

China has declared economic war against us — and we’re helping them win
