Thanks, again.
One of the concerns you have is that public entities not be permitted to bid on public contracts. I'll give you an example where that happened, where public entities were actually expressly forbidden.
This federal government decided it was time to build a rail system between Union Station and Pearson airport. The previous Liberal government was the one that came up with the idea. It was to cost $200 million and was going to be entirely a private sector thing. The TTC and GO Transit were prohibited from even thinking about it. It had to be the private sector. So we had a competition in which there was one bidder competing against himself. Ultimately that bidder was awarded the contract, and the TTC and GO were not permitted to. Is that an open competition?
