So we would have to do some checking to ensure that there is a fair and equitable process for all of the bidders, and that what is written down really gets done. I imagine that staff will have to do these verifications, which will necessarily mean additional costs for the state. According to the member, this line that would be added would not cost one cent more and these projects would provide more community, social and economic benefits.
Do you agree that the implementation of this bill would not cost a penny more?
