Madam Speaker, the Auditor General's report is an endless chain of scandals. That an app estimated to cost $80,000 should end up costing at least $60 million is already unacceptable. That the real cost will never be known because of missing documents makes it even more unacceptable. That GC Strategies was in a position to draft the call for proposals itself, to make sure it would win, makes it more unacceptable still. However, that this two-person company, which delivers no services, has received at least 140 other contracts since 2010 is utterly outrageous. When will an independent investigation into each of these contracts be launched?

Madam Speaker, apparently the bookkeeping has been bad since 2010. Maybe this should have been addressed sooner. The wasteful spending on ArriveCAN continued after the pandemic under the CBSA's new president. At least $12 million more was invested in contracts with consultants, just for ArriveCAN. Clearly there is still a complete lack of accountability at the CBSA today. Will the government put the CBSA under third-party management?
