Mr. Speaker, it is outlined by the Auditor General that pandemic urgency can never justify the corruption and oversight failures outlined in the report. The awarding of contracts favoured GC Strategies' securing almost $20 million without competition. The CBSA's disregard for basic management practices compromised accountability, competition and value for money. The Prime Minister is not worth the cost, crime or corruption. Will fleeced Canadian taxpayers get their money back?

Context: House Hansard - 280 - Feb/12/24
Mr. Pierre Paul-Hus (Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, CPC)
  • Feb/12/24 2:54:33 p.m.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind the minister that he was the president of the Treasury Board of Canada. It was his responsibility to ensure that taxpayers' money was properly managed. I would also like to remind him that, during the pandemic, 23 businesses with no name received hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts. On the Government of Canada website, they were designated by the letters A, B, C, D and so on. I raised that problem in committee in 2021. Today, we have received confirmation of the “glaring disregard for basic management practices” with the ArriveCAN app. Will the former president of the Treasury Board admit that he failed in his duty to protect Canadian taxpayers' money?
