The CBC says the collapse of the huge British construction and services firm Carillion PLC has big implications for Canada where it has an estimated 6,000 employees. Carilion went into liquidation Monday putting thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of government contracts at risk. Among contracts held in Canada is one with CAMH, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto. Other Canadian contracts are for the maintenance and support of military housing at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Petawawa, contracts for hospitals in North Battleford, Sault Ste. Marie, the Stanton Territorial Hospital in the NWT, the Royal Ottawa Healthcare Group in Ottawa and more. There is also a major facility maintenance contract with Shell at one of its oilsands operations, along with at an office building in Calgary.
