I also have problems with not going through the standard tendering process, but I also know that standard tendering processes can sometimes take a long time - and when there is a rush to get something done, corners are cut.
Backdating it to me, means that the official contract was signed on day X, but he was essentially told to start on day Y (before day X) and the contract was backdated to reflect day Y instead.
Where does it say anything about "for work already done"? I see:

Bob Maskell was awarded a $38,000 contract to help organize aboriginal events surrounding the provincial centennial celebrations less than a month after he was defeated by a Liberal in the provincial election in the fall of 2004

Which to me means that the celebrations took place less than a month after the election. Why would he plan anything, or be lined up to plan anything, while trying to fight an election? Doesn't make sense to me...
The 50 hrs in one day sounds odd to me... I hope there's a valid explanation, like multiple people working on it, etc.
