The Ontario Auditor General said that no money was saved and it might even have cost more to do it through private sector contractors.<br /><br />The hard-nosed, business-type "conservatives" insisted (with no counter-argument) that the auditor general must be wrong.

Tell me how this saves money when the city is footing the bill for new equipment and services contracted?Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.com
