If we are going to protect Canada and keep it's jobs here this is the type of thing we need the government to stop corporations from doing with a tax on outsourced jobs.

I can also verify this happened because my close friend was a part of the downsizing in favour of outsourcing.

About four years back, CT outsourced their entire IT infrastructure to an Indian company notorious for lowest-common-denominator level work. They could keep the lights on but not plan, develop, or change.

According to my friends in the company, it has been the disaster we all predicticted, and even more.

And now they're doing it again.

That never goes well. We do various things at our company, one is helping customers troubleshoot their software issues and the environment they have configured. We dread when it is outsourced IT, because the customer has no clue about the environment setup and the outsource IT has no clue either because they are changed out every year. So we have frustrated customers being nonproductive whose managers think they saved money by firing their IT guy.
