Defence lawyers were incredulous Wednesday when Crown Attor ney Rod McLeod asked that minimum fine of $10 million be levied against one of eight com panies convicted in Ontario Su preme Court last month of rig ging dredging bids Defence lawyers also ob jected strenuously to McLeods recommendation that Jean Simard member of the family that played major role in Quebecs shipbuilding and construction industries be jailed for nine to 12 years The Crown has asked for similiar jail sentence for two of the other four businessmen con victed May of conspiracy to defraud public agencies of more than $43 million by rigging dredging bids Julian Porter counsel for McNamara Corp Ltd of To ronto told Associate Chief Jus tice William Parker that the suggestion of levying $10mil lion fine against the company was astounding am very grateful that whipping was removed from the Criminal Code because lm afraid my friend McLeod would ask for it Porter said McLeod also recommended that Marine Industries Ltd of Montreal be fined $25 million to $45 million for its role in the conspiracy WOULD COST TAXPAYER John Sopinka counsel for Marine said any fine the court may impose would come out of

Equipment Ltd The submissions on sentenc ing expected to be completed this week follow one of the longest 14 months most complicated and costliest es timated at $7 million cases ever tried by Canadian jury The jury found that the exec utives had inflated the cost of dredging jobs by agreeing in advance how much each would bid with the winning company then paying off the others McLeod said the role played by Simard former vicechair man of Marine Industries was one of the most difficult to de tect and prosecute because he remained in the background while others acted for him He said stiff jail

power he said recently wont pick up the phone any more and expect to hear lformer finance ministeri Jean Chretien or Bob Andras former chairman of the economic development ministryl For the first time since John Turners era as finance minister Hughes will not have to plant himself in the lobby of the House of Commons till the early hours of the morning smiling at television cameras and telling dozens of journalists how the new budget looks at first glance to the business community REACHES GOAL Hughes says he is leaving because he has accomplished what he set out to do when he gave up his vicepresidency of Dominion Securities Ltd to come to Montreal to run the chamber Early in his career as lab byist Hughes said his goal was to express the views of business on matters of national im portance in language so clear and so compelling that the chamber could no longer be dimissed as mere social club forexecutives He says has come close enough to achieving these goals that he will leave the chamber without any sense of leaving his task unfinished The new presidents major task he says is to maintain the Chambers reputation as an in formed responsible organiza tion worthy of serious con sideration in the major economic decisions of the day tnlike Hughes himself the new president should be bilA ingual Hughes can make himself understood in French but he feels and sounds awkward Although he tried to squeeze French lessons into jammed schedule during his five years at the chamber he never felt he could speak ade quately to or for Quebec He says the new president should have government ex perience at the most senior level and should be able to speak comfortany with top cor porate officials It would be good to have westerner $10 In for riding experience Sears bikes have it
