Excellent article de Sean Silcoff dans le Globe and Mail du 30 mars 2012. L’ex-auditeure générale du Canada, Sheila Fraser, est pressentie pour joindre le Board de Bombardier. Mme Fraser, qui possède une réputation irréprochable, viendra certainement ajouter une note d’intégrité à une entreprise qui en avait bien besoin.
Bombardier Inc. used to have one of the worst governance reputations in Corporate Canada. Now, it’s about to hold a very different distinction, as the only Canadian company with not one, but two former federal auditors-general on its board of directors.
In six weeks, Sheila Fraser, who retired as Auditor-General of Canada after 10 years last May, is expected to join the board of the transportation giant at its annual meeting, taking a seat near her friend and predecessor as Canada’s top federal watchdog, Denis Desautels. It will be her second corporate board, after she became a director last November of Manulife Financial Corp.
Dans une entrevue, Mme Fraser dit qu’elle entend jouer son rôle d’administratrice indépendante sans complaisance : “I’d like to think I can ask questions and be direct. If I have something I want to know, I’ll ask about it, and will work hard to understand the issues.”
