I think so. It's one of many areas where municipalities can look for savings. There's a famous quote from, I think it was the chief of police for New York City, who said that he could easily pay for the police officers who are on the street, but he couldn't pay for the other three who are retired. There are a whole bunch of ways that costs can be contained. Open and fair procurement practices are definitely one.
I quoted the city of Montreal and the city of Hamilton. The city of Toronto is another one. There are potentially hundreds of millions of dollars that are being spent that could still be spent or that could be saved and diverted to two schools, as opposed to just one.
