Mr. Michael Barrett (Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, CPC)

  • Watch
Canadians want and expect us to ascribe responsibility to the individual responsible, and that is the Prime Minister. This app was supposed to cost $80,000. It cost more than $60 million. It has been under RCMP investigation and investigation by the procurement ombud and the Auditor General, and the results so far are damning for the government. It has lined the pockets of insiders while Canadians are lined up at food banks. It is absolutely unacceptable that the cost overruns have seen $20 million go to a company that did absolutely no work on the app. Why is the government putting its friends ahead while Canadians suffer?
