Yes it is an Ontario based company, but there are tonnes of companies headquartered in other places operating in Alberta. They won the RFP, they had the "do-dads" and they could do it at the lowest price and will employ Albertans and they will lease a building in Alberta to do it.
Seriously, just yelling at clouds again.

The question of whether or not the RFP process was rigged in favor of Ecofitt should be addressed. If they mandated that products had to be ones that Ecofitt was supplying, then it's pretty clear cut that the government wanted Ecofitt to get the work. If they only specified parameters that the products had to meet, then it's a non-issue.
If it was rigged, it should be shown why Ecofitt was specifically chosen for preferential treatment and why the appearance of a competitive bid process was needed if the vendor had already been decided.
