 * Or to Charbonneau Inquiry? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:30, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Right. Sorry for the typo.--MTLskyline (talk) 13:35, 2 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I started this article yesterday and named it the official name in consistency with the French article on the subject that was already made. You're right, this article should be renamed with its more regular name, but I think that should be The Charbonneau Commission which seems to be more common in the English press. Similar to Gomery Commission. Slapmaster3000 (talk) 14:20, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Charbonneau Commission is fine as well.--MTLskyline (talk) 20:39, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep, support rename to Charbonneau Commission, as well. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 05:10, 3 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I would support a move to either of those proposed names. The current name is quite unwieldy (though we can keep a redirect, of course). bobrayner (talk) 00:11, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

The reason why
This article could use a background section. At present, the article tells the reader that Jean Charest appointed a royal commission to examine corruption in the construction industry in October 2011 without an explanation why. The article could mention that since the 1960s there have been lots of shady things going on in the Quebec construction industry, which to a previous royal commission in 1974-75, the so-called Cliche commission, which found rampant corruption and Mafia influences in Quebec construction unions. The immediate catalyst for the Charbonneau commission was that a number of buildings and bridges collapsed in 2010-2011 due to shoddy workmanship, such as using sand in place of concrete as the concrete had been sold on the black market. That led to complaints as one might expect, and so Premier Charest in the time honored manner of Canadian politicians appointed a royal commission to give himself a reason to do nothing. The article would be better with such a section.--A.S. Brown (talk) 06:32, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
