So, the same thing that went wrong with the Phoenix payroll system. What is it that stops Canadian government procurement from setting concrete requirements that must be met as a condition of payment?
Seems like there’s a disconnect in government between the people who hand out the money and the people who actually evaluate the work.
Damn, maybe I should get some government contracts.
Whenever I see these kinds of stories, I think of Pierre Poilievre. Knowing what we know about the Liberals’ unwillingness and/or inability to competently manage a lemonade stand, how unlikeable must you be for the Canadian electorate to have given them another go?
The Trudeau government’s actions/failures here at the very least can probably serve as a lesson to how future governments/governmental branches handle the contracting process with companies and might create a precedent for some sort of regulatory/contracting reform to increase transparency for these types of situations going forward.
I know that the Auditor General stated “There are no recommendations in this report because I don’t believe the government needs more procurement rules, rather, federal organizations need to make sure that the rules that exist are understood and followed.” but the fact that in 58% of the non-completive contracts examined that federal agencies didn’t actually assess whether a call for competitive bids would be beneficial or not & instead just awarded the contract straight to GCStrategies alongside the fact that half of the contracts required security clearance; while additionally, Trudeau’s government/government agencies at the time didn’t prove that the workers for those contracts were cleared etc. all point to some sort of reform being necessary.
When half/over half of the agencies & contracts in the report aren’t being followed properly, I’d at least argue personally that it’s not simply an issue of those organizations not understanding/following the rules, but a systemic issue that shows how the existing rules/policies aren’t actually sufficient to deal with the problem and that change is necessary for governmental transparency & accountability here etc.
This is what happens when you „cut red tape“. Often, the things you think are slowing things down are also the things that make sure it’s done correctly.
On time, on budget or to spec: pick two.
yet no punishments. exploit the goverment, even if you get caught they dont even make you pay back the amount stolen
