Conservatives bend rules on defense shopping in 06

Conservatives bend rules on defense shopping

On the federal procurement list we have helicopters and cargo jets.

As I understand it, provinces are usually consulted on where

the work will be done as outlined in the 1994 Agreement on Internal

Trade. In this case, however, the federal government chose the

contractors and where the work will be done through the use of the

National Security Exemption. The key areas that are going to

benefit from the contracts are the West, Quebec and the Atlantic.

It is interesting to note the conservative party doesn’t have much

support in Quebec or any of the Atlantic provinces. As for the West,

they don’t need to worry about being re-elected there. If I was the

head of a trade union in any of the provinces that traditionally do not

support conservatives, I may consider lining up behind the party due

to the wonderful contract they gave me. It brings a whole new

meaning to the term “buying votes”.

Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
