Robert Poëti has the intention to do the housework in it expenditure of the government, and wants to create the public procurement authority as quickly as possible.

Barely got in office, the former police officer wants to put in action. It has put an end to calls for tender fixing in computer science that benefit only a single company. “There is talk of drafting tender to say exactly what we want to prevent that suppliers can access the tender. Sometimes, the product is so specific that other companies are not able to bid,” said the new minister delegate to the integrity of public procurement, and information Resources in an interview with the parliamentary Bureau.

The “fuck it” is expensive in Quebec. It expenses were the $ 3.5 billion per year and the cost overruns are the norm. An example: the project SAGIR, which aims at the modernization of all systems of management of québec’s public administration, was supposed to cost$ 83 Million. The State eventually pay nearly 15 times that amount. It has thus been renamed “it sales” by officials catastrophés, had revealed our Bureau of investigation.

It is this kind of slippage that Mr. Poëti is to eliminate. It therefore has the mandate to adopt bill 135, which strengthens the governance and management of the computer, as soon as possible. The piece of legislation was written by the former president of the treasury Board, Pierre Moreau last April. “We want to frame it [damn it]”, he launched.

“I don’t need to be a computer expert. This is not Gaétan Barrette who does operations in hospitals. But I know the solutions”, he explained. Alternative diagnosis: it wants the “acquisitions” it departments are “transferable”. He does not want to end up “with technology that’s good for a single ministry”.

Mr. Poëti, who will lead a team of five employees and will be posted in the offices of the treasury Board will also have the mandate of creating the public procurement Authority, the “police contract”, as he calls it. This bill is in the study article by article, but is blocked because the Office of the inspector-general of Montreal and other organizations refuse to submit to it.

It is, however a recommendation flagship of the Charbonneau commission. “We want to unlock it,” said Mr. Poëti. His status as a minister will give him more power than he had as a member of parliament. He will be able to go to the Centre des services partagés du Québec, to “see all of the calls for tender and requests of the ministries”. It is also important to note that the big boss of the CSPQ has been relieved temporarily of his duties this summer, three months after her arrival in this position, due to an investigation by the UPAC, which aim to acniens executives of the organization.

Robert Poëti account also introduce a bill to force large contractors, including the government, to pay more quickly with their supplier, a mandate that it has obtained as a member of parliament.

The brothel computer

The investigation Office of the Journal has developed in recent years, the portrait of the Brothel it : a series of cost overruns monsters in it projects the keys to the government of Quebec. Many of these reports have forced the government to review its practices in computer science.

Yet, it is a budgetary item to be a key : the State spends nearly $ 3.5 billion per year in this area.
