Silent Partners: Taxpayers and the Bankrolling of Bombardier by Peter HadekelISBN: 9781552636268
Publication Date: 2004-09-10
This is the story of Bombardier Inc., Canada's best known manufacturer abroad. Silent Partners examines the record, the politics, and the personalities behind the deals. It's the story of how business gets done in Canada. It's about regional and linguistic cleavage, democratic values, and public trust. Above all, it's the story of two business leaders, Laurent Beaudoin and Paul Tellier—one a visionary builder, the other a corporate saviour—and how they planned to ask Canadians for help just one more time.
