Again, I'm not saying it wasn't wrong. I'm saying it doesn't point to self-enrichment. Perhaps my definition of corruption is overly narrow. Certainly political gain is at issue here. But that is a huge continuum - lots of industries, or even individuals "invest" via donations to parties who they expect will do things that benefit them. That all should change IMO.

Ummm donating and then being allowed to dictate a get out of jail free card into a omnibus bill is to me a good example of corruption.
Jobs were not on the line, the Liberals never proved that Lavalin said there weren't jobs on the line. They had a huge backlog of jobs so losing the government contracts probably actually would have created more jobs. On top of that Lavalin had received huge money from Quebec on the conditions that they couldn't move their operations.
But what you're doing is exactly why there needs to be a proper judicial inquiry into the whole sordid affair.
