Planes and ships might be stuck in administrative muck... That's according to Kevin Lacey of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation who tells Tide News that after seeing the auditor general's report which outlined search and rescue's too-small aircraft fleet, he wonders if the feds' procurement strategy will have an effect on the shipbuilding project in Halifax.
He says the question is will changes that are needed to fix that problem have an effect on the procurement of those ship building vessels that are not signed in stone. He says that is something his group and others are going to watch in the coming months.
Lacey says when the government makes a decision, they need to move quickly and actually build the product.
