Governments Can Reduce Deficits, Save Tax Dollars By Outsourcing Lab Services

Some municipalities, as well as some federal and provincial government departments, have built and expanded their own lab operations over the years.
In an era of government deficits and public funding constraint, these operations should be scaled back or eliminated entirely by outsourcing the services to the private sector.
This would reduce government expenditures, save tax dollars, and result in greater efficiencies.

Where government lab services duplicate what is available in the private sector, there is no reason for governments to operate their own labs.
The private sector labs are more cost effective and responsive. In fact, government labs often rely on private facilities to do work for them outside of regular business hours.
There is broad geographical coverage among private-sector labs. CCIL members, who operate more than 330 lab facilities, are located in the major markets across Canada.
CCIL members are recognized for their commitment to quality and innovation, highly trained personnel, state-of-the-art equipment and advanced technologies.
