One of the amusing things to me is that, at least the federal level, the idea of something being a "capital asset" hasn't changed from $10,000+ since like... the 90's as far as I can tell. Lots of stuff that shouldn't be a "capital asset" cost more than $10k nowadays.
Likewise, we also can't repair vehicles for more than $20,000 without going to tender... if a headgasket or transmission goes on a 5-tonne the minimum is going to be $25,000 to fix that as a starting point and goign to tender for this kind of work takes literally forever, so the truck just sits broken somewhere all that time? Do you violate treasury board policy and contract split? There's been zero adjustment to these dollar amounts to account for inflation or rising costs the last 25+ years lol
