AECL's reactor division was sold to SNC Lavalin in 2011 for $15 million dollars.   Yes - less than Tony Clement's gazebos.   The reason for the low price was two previous years of losses at AECL.    

It's almost as if Harper wanted the 2009 shutdown and crisis as an excuse to sell the division.    It was almost as bad as the sale of the former Wheat Board for $250 mln to a Saudi group despite a higher offer from Canadian farmers.
