The Commission of Inquiry on the Awarding and Management of Public Contracts in the Construction Industry (French: Commission d'enquête sur l'octroi et la gestion des contrats publics dans l'industrie de la construction, also known as the Charbonneau Commission) was a public inquiry in Quebec, Canada into potential corruption in the management of public construction contracts.
The commission was enacted on 19 October 2011 by the provincial Liberal government of Jean Charest, and was chaired by Justice France Charbonneau.[1] The mandate of the Committee was to:
Examine the existence of schemes and, where appropriate, to paint a portrait of activities involving collusion and corruption in the provision and management of public contracts in the construction industry (including private organizations, government enterprises and municipalities) and to include any links with the financing of political parties.
Paint a picture of possible organized crime infiltration in the construction industry.
Examine possible solutions and make recommendations establishing measures to identify, reduce and prevent collusion and corruption in awarding and managing public contracts in the construction industry.[2]
The commission completed its work on 25 November 2015. It led to the resignation of Montreal mayor Gérald Tremblay, as well as the arrests and respective convictions and guilty pleas of interim Montreal mayor Michael Applebaum and Laval mayor Gilles Vaillancourt.
