Billing Under Review

Another 21 contract issues were resolved in the first eight months of last year, with the federal government recouping $2.9 million. The overpayment disputes are with a who's who of Canadian firms, including Air Canada, Boeing Canada Technology, Bristol Aerospace Ltd., IBM Canada Ltd., Lockheed Martin Canada and Spar Aerospace Ltd., although there is no evidence these companies have done anything wrong. Heavily censored documents outlining the alleged problems were obtained under the Access to Information Act from the Public Works Department, the clearing house for virtually all federal contracts. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1138575009838&call_pageid=968332188774&col=968350116467 [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on February 1, 2006]
