text: I have been in hiring situations where we have contracted with basic background check companies, and for a few hundred dollars, it is amazing what comes up.
  
  All verified.
  
  And when something comes up that is shall we say questionable, it is highlighted/bolded/underlined etc., and frankly, in print, looks unsettling...
  
  Particularly if you have alternative candidates that are relatively spotless..
  
  Sounds like Ottawa either needs a new company that does it, or it need to get a company that does it...
  
  It does have a way of doing background checks, doesn't it?
  
  (wait a minute, there is the RCMP, CSIS, and a raft of other resources the private sector could not even dream of.....wow.....)
