Quebec’s top finance official accused Boeing Co. of using its trade complaint against Bombardier Inc. to try to crush competition from Canada’s biggest aerospace company.
“Boeing is behaving in a predatory way,” Quebec Finance Minister Carlos Leitao said Tuesday at the Bloomberg Canada Fixed Income Conference in New York. “Boeing is clearly trying to drive Bombardier out of business. That’s not fair.”
