Just another of the messes that the Harper Government left for the Trudeau Government to clean up over and above a moribund economy.
 
The Phoenix  Pay System and Shared Services were approved by the Conservatives who claimed anticipated savings but then didn't provide sufficient funds for training as they tried  desperately  to save enough to get at least one balanced budget.
Both became fiascoes left to the Liberals  to clean up.
 
There was the Saudi deal for LAVS that Harper pursued zealously, guaranteed in writing  and signed a contract with  millions of dollars of  cancellation fees making it virtually impossible to cancel..

Now this. How many millions have been wasted already in fighting  this case? The government would not have won the case  and 20 million would have been awarded as well as millions in court costs. All due to previous governments unlawful actions and the  spiteful and  politicized stonewalling of the Harper government.
