ATS & Hughes corruption ? True storyHere is a funny story, which by the way can be confirmed via Mr.Jutras as he was the CFO at the time. Any reporters who doubt this following story can easily confirm all the details,lol. If Mr. Jutras denies any knowledge then Mr.Jack Slouthouber (Royal Oak Rd. Tool-room supervisor) can confirm the details easily enough,lol.
Some years ago ATS was contracted by Hughes (California) to build 2 L-Cast wave soldering machines. These machines were to solder electronic circut boards for the M1 tanks.
Needless to say after installation some major USA military brass had their pics taken with the 2 wave soldering machines etc. etc.
Well to make a long story short these 2 machines DID NOT do what they were supposed to do, the US military shipped them back to ATS and in turn ATS mothballed these 2 machines to a wharehouse for some years. Some parts were scavenged over the years and the 2 machines continued to sit wharehoused.
Along comes Mr. Harris some time later and extoles how the Gov. should back Canadian Co's with tax breaks and grants,lol.
ATS then pulls these same 2 machines out of the wharehouse, cleans them up, puts some dummy circut boards on the conveyer and Mr. Harris visits ATS with the media in tow,lol.
ATS gets a LARGE grant, Mr Harris gets media and the whole thing was a sham,lol.
The 2 machines then go back into the wharehouse and over time more parts are scavenged from the machines,lol.
The above is 100% truth, as such I can NEVER be sued for the truth.
Smoke that Mr.Jutras,lol.
