RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Buying Aecon today If I was advising CGL, I would surely advise them to negotiate a settlement before arbitration, even if the CEO of Aecon said he is not interested. Contractors prefer to go through the process when they have a strong case. I know I have a similar case working for the contractor. Federal agencies acting as the owner (like CGL is the owner here albeit private) represented by Justice Canada however always prefer to negotiate.
