TRUDEAU LIBERALS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH COMPETITION

OTTAWA — A Finnish company, Arctia Ltd.,  has raised red flags over the Trudeau government's decision to launch negotiations with Quebec shipyard Davie for the lease of four icebreakers without conducting a competition.
   Arctia isn't alone in questioning the decision to forego a competition to address an anticipated shortage of Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers in the coming years.   Alan Williams, who previously oversaw military procurement at the Department of National Defence, suggested the government could face legal challenges from companies for entering into direct negotiations with Davie.
"I can't help but wonder, what is the legal justification to bypass competition?" Williams said.
