I hope the government doesn't "muddy the waters" with all these non-CPSP possibilities. It would behoove the government to award a contract in short order as proof the government is stepping up procurement timelines.

A car factory would certainly relieve some immediate employment concerns in southern Ontario, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned from the past year it’s the importance of diversity in our industrial make up. One would hope that we could use major procurement projects to stimulate and scale other industries that are comparatively undeveloped.
