Good morning from the Charbonneau Commission. We expect cross-examination of ex city engineer Luc Leclerc to begin momentarily. #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 2:40:27 PM

Luc Leclerc re-takes the stand. First to question him will be Daniel Rochefort, lawyer for construction assoc. #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 2:46:08 PM

Rochefort says his questions "will not be mean questions." Well, that's rather disappointing. #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 2:46:55 PM

Luc Leclerc admits that the SQ's Hammer squad was a major reason that he retired when he did in 2009. #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 2:48:01 PM
-
Leclerc reiterates that he remained in his job after he was eligible for retirement (2008) because he "liked the social aspect." #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 2:50:05 PM

"I liked the golf games. I liked the hockey games." And the money? No cash kickbacks as of 2008, he says. #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 2:50:50 PM

Correction: Leclerc was apparently eligible for retirement way back in 2002, not 2008. #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 2:53:21 PM

Lawyer Rochefort seems quite interested in the relationships/potential collusion *within* Leclerc's department. #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 2:57:11 PM

Apparently, there was a startling lack of oversight within department. Leclerc has no idea why, but verifications rare as of 1995. #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 3:00:18 PM
-
There used to be people checking contracts, but after '95, Leclerc says not even his superiors were taking a look at each one. #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 3:01:27 PM
-
Luc Leclerc says there were not enough staff in his department. They went from 9 engineers checking contracts to 2 in the 1990s. #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 3:05:38 PM
-
How did this affect collusion? "If we'd been more numerous…there would have been less proximity (between city staff & entrepreneurs." #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 3:06:41 PM

“It would have been much harder for corruption to implant itself.” - Luc Leclerc #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 3:06:52 PM

"All of my colleagues accepted gifts ... no exceptions," says Luc Leclerc. Inspectors, superiors, technical staff, etc. Wow. That's new.by Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 3:12:17 PM

You were member of a professional body that forbids that kind of thing. Did that bother you? Leclerc: "I did what everyone else did." #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 3:14:02 PM

Man, sounds like Christmas season was *awesome* in that department. Gifts on chairs, under desks...everywhere! #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 3:15:48 PM

Lawyer Rochefort points out that Leclerc doesn't seem to feel too bad about what he's done. (1/2) #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 11/12/2012 3:20:33 PM
