Madam Speaker, as we are debating this measure today, a huge scandal is unfolding. We learned from the Auditor General yesterday that there is evidence of corruption and wasteful spending. That is why we are announcing that we want the RCMP to expand its investigation in order to find the truth and shed light on the possibility of criminal activity in the arrive scam scandal. I have letters to that effect. I am asking the RCMP to expand its investigation into the arrive scam affair, and I am tabling this letter—

Madam Speaker, I am rising on a point of order. The arrive scam scandal has exploded into public consciousness after the Auditor General revealed evidence that senior government officials got gifts, such as fancy whiskies, in order to give out contracts. I would like to table in the House of Commons a letter to the RCMP commissioner asking for the investigation into arrive scam to be expanded.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Auditor General released her report on the arrive scam scandal. This damning report shows that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost or the corruption. This app should have only cost $80,000, but it ended up costing taxpayers $60 million. To make matters worse, $12 million went to Liberal consultants who did not even work on the app. In addition, this app sent more than 10,000 Canadians unjustifiably into quarantine. Arrive scam reeks of corruption that goes straight to the top, but in the ethics committee today, it was verified that even emails that were deleted to cover up corruption can be accessed with authorization. It is time for answers. That is why Conservatives are calling on the RCMP to expand its investigation into arrive scam so that those involved can face charges. The question is now this: Will the Prime Minister comply, or is he implicated?

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister and his arrive scam app are not worth the cost or the corruption. Following the Auditor General's revelations yesterday about corruption and waste, I wrote to the RCMP and asked it to expand the criminal investigation into the arrive scam scandal. The Prime Minister has a history of blocking criminal investigations. Will he allow the RCMP to investigate him and his arrive scam?
