News Tidbits – Dolores O’Riordan, the lead singer has died unexpectedly at the age of 46.  Carillion PLC has declared bankruptcy in the UK. This international firm has an estimated 23,000 employees around the world and an estimated 6,000 in Canada. In Canada, Carillion holds contracts for road maintenance in Ontario and Alberta, and property maintenance contracts across Canada. Last month the value of Carillion shares lost 70% of their value after a profit warning about their £845m writedown. Nearly half of that writedown concerned three large public private partnership (PPP) contracts in the UK.
