being an IT project manager, and a consultant with the Big 5 for over 10 yrs (now no longer thank god) I can assure you that the billion or two was probably eaten up in fees to one of those firms. Having seen the billling rates, (discounted from over $400/hr for mid level developers to about $200/hr ) for projects in the Ontario Gov't - MBS & finance or for the hydro, I can see how those costs can ratchet up. Especially if there is little control over requirements!!!
