 court.

Charges against one former SNC-Lavalin vice-president, Stéphane Roy, were dismissed by a Quebec court on Tuesday. Judge Patricia Compagnone cited extensive delays in reaching trial as the reason.

Roy was first charged in 2014 with fraud over $5,000 and bribing a foreign public official in Libya. His case wouldn't reach trial until this May — a 64-month wait.

"The judge said what happened was an example of a reflection of the culture of complacency in the federal prosecutors office," said Montreal-based Canadian Press reporter Giuseppe Valiante.

"This case for him is over."

Roy's case was the second related to fraud and bribery charges laid against former executives at Quebec engineering giant SNC-Lavalin to be thrown out this month.

"It's clear that when you have a more dramatic, political, I guess, theatre in Ottawa, it's much 'funner' to follow. It's much more exciting," Valiante told Day 6 host Brent Bambury.

"I think it's these court cases, really, that are the most important because this speaks to our judicial system and our ability to hold people accountable for stealing public money, for bribing public officials and for, I guess, corrupting the business environment in the country."

Plea deal for former CEO

The second case involves SNC-Lavalin's former CEO, Pierre Duhaime, on charges related to the development of the McGill University Hospital Centre superhospital in Montreal.

In the case of Pierre Duhaime, he was charged in 2012 with fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, and forging documents. In a plea deal, 14 of 15 charges against Duhaime were dropped.

Duhaime pleaded guilty to breach of trust on Feb. 1, and was sentenced to 20 months of house arrest, 240 hours of community service, and is required to make a $200,000 donation to a fund that compensates victims of crime.

"What's interesting is that this is not a case that really sparked a lot of public anger," Valiante said. "You didn't really hear that much at all."
