We're in a situation where almost all federal departments are making very painful and very difficult cuts. Thousands of public servants are losing their jobs. The government has an obligation to demonstrate that this contract will provide the best value for its investment in this country's critical infrastructure. The information that's publicly available doesn't convince me that this is indeed the case. The government has an obligation to convince Canadians that, in the current situation, with the deficit that exists, this is indeed the best solution for Canada.
