Québec Contractor...
Three contractors were bidding to fix a broken fence at an Ottawa property...
One is from Vancouver, another is from Toronto and the third is from Quebec. All three go with a Government official to examine the fence.
The Vancouver contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. “Well,” he says, “I figure the job will run you about $900... $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”
The Toronto contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, “I can do this job for $700... $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”
The Quebec contractor doesn’t measure or figure anything, but leans over to the government official and whispers, “$2,700.”
The official, incredulous, says, “But you didn’t even measure like the other guys! And how did you come up with such a high figure?” The Quebec contractor whispers back, “$1,000 for me, $1,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Toronto to fix the fence.”
“Done!” replies the government official.
And that, my friends, is how Quebec Government contracting works.
