Companies must "actively operate" in Canada to bid on big federal contracts, says Procurement Minister Joël Lightbound. For some business groups, that's not Canadian enough.
If our governments always choose the lowest bidder who fills out the RFP with right words, we’re always going to get lowballers who change request the project into oblivion. And then if the management style focuses more on making sure people are in the office (so nearby crony businesses can optimize their profits, and incompetent managers can think they’re in control) instead of focusing on streamlining and effectively running the delivery processes, it is inevitable projects will be late, incorrect, and over budget.
I know right? It’s like as if we have no semblance of control with politicians at the helm. OR I think it’s just that people that are making the decisions of who the contracts go to have no knowledge nor are they qualified to actually make the call.
