They have a better control of their system. We have to jump through to many levels of approval to get a simple order made. Then we have to jump through many other levels just to find a builder/ supplier. Then many other levels to approve the buy.
Often the contract needs to include a central Canada company or two on the consulting/supply side that increase costs significantly.
Add in all the kickbacks, back door deals and levels involved and the cost for a pencil goes from a few cents to ten dollars. If your not in Central Canada or close ties then your wasting your breath on contracts.
We cant afford our current procurement system
On that front a lot of their manufacturers, especially the military and naval ones have a long history as state enterprises. They had one customer, their boss. He footed all the bills.
