La version de l'ancien projet de loi C-52 et la version amendée du projet de loi C-7 nous permettent de croire que le ministère des Travaux publics pourrait, si on suit l'interprétation rigoureuse du projet de loi, à toutes fins pratiques, concurrencer le secteur privé dans la fourniture de services au Canada.
It will be the job of our committee to ensure that the bill is not creating a precedent and that the government and department officials will not use it to compete with the private sector. The former bill, Bill C-52, and the amended version of Bill C-7 would indicate that the Department of Public Works could, if the bill were interpreted strictly, compete with the private sector in providing services to Canada.
