Risk sharing was something I think I heard in the consultations across the country in every location we went to. It is more profound than just the terms and conditions, although people have strong opinions on things like unlimited indemnification, where they are simply unable, unwilling.... I think it is inappropriate that they should risk their whole company in order to get a contract.
In many cases the Canadian government is not getting the competition it could get because people are declining to bid. Secondly, if they do bid, they inevitably have to build the cost of accepting that risk within their price. The government then pays for that risk. If it's in an area where the government might be better positioned to absorb that risk across their whole budget-sharing process, I think the government is wasting money. Things like foreign currency exchange fluctuations might be one area to look at.
