MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Oct. 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nearly 10 years after Crown Corporation Atomic Energy of Canada, Ltd.

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, April 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Society of Professional Engineers and Associates (SPEA) welcomed news that the World Bank was lifting sanctions on SNC-Lavalin over corruption charges levelled nearly a decade ago. "This should allow SNC-Lavalin to compete internationally for new clients and contracts including for its subsidiary Candu Energy," said Mark Chudak, President of SPEA. We hope that Candu Energy's management will use this as an opportunity to reignite Canada's flagship nuclear technology company."
