` ::*In Ontario ALL public tenders are prequalified. It's got nothing to do with special knowledge. It's special relationships that count. I have no axe to grind. It's the law that says that Favoratism and Incumbancy is OK in public spending, as long as it's not the elected doing it. The non-elected are free to do as they please and give public works to their friends and relatives. It's not illegal like in the more open and honest countries. `
