That’s the cost of keeping ship building industry alive in Canada. It’s likely cheaper if the Koreans or Chinese built it.
WHEN a project-cost increases TO A FACTOR-OF-5-TIMES the budgeted cost,
THEN criminal-convictions should be happening.
Just as normal commercial-contracts have a “kill this contract” point, for noncompliance, so too must public-taxpayer-payed projects, at 1.4x or 2x hard-max.
Extortion isn’t acceptable, “just because it is government”.
Take that extra-billion out of elected-authorities’ pensions & pay!
Make the ones who mismanage pay.
Accountability, right?
