The Conservative government has decided that U.S. aerospace giant Sikorsky won't have to pay $36 million in late penalties even though the maritime helicopter it is building for the Canadian Forces is being delivered two years late.
Duff Conacher, co-ordinator of Democracy Watch, said the decision by the Conservatives not to enforce the penalties is "practising politics . . . just like the Liberals would."
Conacher said the announcement timing, on the night of Dec. 23, and the fact the original press release did not mention the Conservatives were setting aside the contract fines, is another indication the government is trying its best to hide the deal.
