The government signed a $750-million contract with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada to administer the claims. Procurement Minister Jean-Yves Duclos previously announced a $15-million agreement with the company to lay the groundwork in September.

750 million. How many public servants would that hire so we don’t have to always be siphoning public funds into profiteering on this and other programs?
