I was reading today how they hired CGI to make it, and how many doomed projects CGI already has in their past.

I always wonder about IT projects when it come to government. Look at the gun registry, I mean how tough can that be to make a fricken database, but no, it was a pos right out of the gate and probably cost 100X more than it should have.

How is it banks etc. can run millions of transactions each and every day and you never, well, very seldom ever here of IT related problems. I think whoever is in charge of this from an IT perspective should've been axed a long time ago.
