Canadian Politics Today

Didn't I read recently the Liberals made 88 changes in the rules for the bidding process for new ships - after it had gotten under way?

clearly you didn't understand what you claim to have read! Contract amendments are standard operating procedure within an RFP; in this case principally amendments determined (by the principal contractor, Irving Shipbuilders) in relation to questions received from the 12 pre-qualified bidders along with process improvements to the RFP itself. Considering it's the largest military procurement in Canadian history, even you should be capable of recognizing the need for amendments to an initial RFP release... even you!
