Contracting out and consulting equates to “You Get What You Pay For And Less”

Most contractors and consultants do slower work; cut corners, seldom finish on time, which inflates the cost of the original project.

In the contracting and consulting business cost overruns seems to be the norm.

In-house labour gives more efficient work force, better quality of work, more control and getting the project finished within the budget on time.

In-House labour will give better quality that will last as long as it is supposed to instead of breaking down before it's time.

We also cannot forget that contracting out and consulting projects usually end up in the inner circle of friends of the decision makers.

Look at the St Clair streetcar contracting out fiasco. http://www.torontosun.com/news/torontoandgta/2010/01/19/12534386.html

A Toronto mayoral candidate went down in defeat because of his handling of the electronic health records conversion by using consultants and contractors. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/story/2009/10/07/ehealth-auditor.html

It is just better to hire workers to do the job right the first time instead of spending more money constantly fixing the mistake of contractors and consultants year after year.

Only when the Liberals give untendered contracts to party insiders. I have been a contractor or worked for other contractors most of my life and what you are claiming only happens with corrupt governments not in the real world.

I'm pretty sure they weren't thinking of Sheila when they wrote 'My Angel is a Centerfold', but John Crosbie was thinking of her when he said, 'Pour me another tequila, Sheila'.

That would definitely take more than one shot. Probably a flag & bible too so you could claim you were doing it for god & country.

Really and I as a taxpayer see what the contractors produce and most of it is costly

Bob Rae is giving a really good speech too bad he can't run for leader

Yep too Bad. Because if Bob becomes leader of the libs it will solidify a few more Conservative majorities.
