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, the government has given 32 different contracts totalling $60 million to the same consultants, GC Strategies, for the useless ArriveCAN app. Liberals simply cannot keep themselves from helping themselves, while Canadians can barely pay the bills. At a time when we should be investing in the skills and knowledge of our public service, Liberals would rather hand over millions to private consultants. Why is the Liberal government giving money to its rich friends instead of investing in the valuable work of our federal public service?
