Presently, with government contracts, there is no process for the public to see cost overruns and broken timeframes. The department added that it is sometimes mistakenly saddled with the blame for cost overruns on projects managed on behalf of other departments. The department explained that these overruns arise from last minute change orders from the other departments. The committee sees this as an issue to be pursued in the future.
