SAAQ has lifted the confidentiality obligation for its legal staff
In a significant development, police have identified four suspects suspected of crimes related to the SAAQclic fiasco. This includes a civil servant accused of corruption.
The interim CEO of the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ), Annie Lafond, has declared that this gesture towards the police investigation represents an important step in progress.
However, the criminal investigation, conducted in parallel with the Gallant Commission, was hindered by the SAAQ management. To expedite the process, the SAAQ has hired Levasseur & Associates Lawyers to analyze the documents related to the investigation. Notably, the entire firm of Levasseur & Associates Lawyers will be involved to speed up processing.
Deputy Prime Minister Geneviève Guilbault has stated that the government's call has been heard, implying a renewed commitment to transparency and accountability.
Interestingly, the decision to waive attorney-client privilege in all investigations related to SAAQclic was made by the relevant legal authority or official overseeing the investigations. However, the specific person responsible for this decision is not publicly disclosed. It is worth noting that this is not the first time a public organization has renounced invoking attorney-client privilege to allow police investigations to progress; the City of Montreal did so during the water meter scandal.
As the investigation continues, the public and the government await the findings that could shed light on the SAAQclic fiasco and ensure justice is served.
