The inevitable consequence of private enterprise doing it cheaper.

I've worked for private companies, Crown corporations (i.e. in 
Canada, government-owned companies) and government agencies and there 
is no discernable difference between them if they all do a good job.  
However, when they put cost cutting and profit above everything else, 
the result is a bad place to work - short term gain and long term 
failure.  A good work environment is a good work environment 
regardless of who signs the cheque.  Good work is good work 
regardless of who manages the process.  Good management is good 
management regardless of who owns the business.  Saying that private 
enterprise is good and government is bad is a ludicrous assertion 
that ignores reality.
