Thank you so much, Mr. Jeglic, for your report.
I have to say, the fact that we're talking about bait and switch in government contracts today is outrageous to me, and it should be for all Canadians.
Canadians expect that, when their government signs a multi-million dollar contract, the people hired to do the job are the ones who were promised. Your report shows that, in many cases, companies win a contract by proposing top-tier experts and then quietly replace them with less qualified staff once the ink is dry. You describe this as “bait and switch tactics”, potentially violating procurement rules and possibly crossing the line into fraud.
Can you explain what you mean by bait and switch in federal contracting?
