The Quebec National Assembly just unanimously adopted a motion that points out that significant cost overruns in federal government IT projects are a waste of the tax dollars paid by Quebec taxpayers. Every elected official in Quebec is calling on the federal government to launch an independent public inquiry into federal IT contracts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9184488\" data-originallang=\"fr\">When will the government launch this inquiry that has been unanimously requested by Quebec?</p>",
