Evidence gaps

  • The reviewed public searches do not constitute an exhaustive criminal, sanctions, regulatory, litigation or credential check.

  • Full prior-employer outcomes and exact tenure dates are not independently verified.

  • The final CNESST crane-incident investigation, enforcement and remediation outcomes were not located in the targeted searches.

  • Broad combined name-and-employer queries were reused across topic classifications. Separate comprehensive court, regulator and employer-specific searches were not completed for every relevant topic and employer.
