@kevincox @veeesix So, why won't they release their business case showing that? They're banding about figures of $1M savings over a year, or maybe three years (depending on source) but nothing to back it up. A rather piddly sum given the size of their budget.
Did they even do a proper business case for it? It smells too much like this is just a payoff to his business buddies, and the fact that they'll be putting largely #unionized #ServiceOntario workers out of work is just gravy.
