When it was brought to the attention of the committee that the Auditor General heard about the investigation not from the Liberal government itself but rather from a story in the Globe and Mail, everyone was shocked. Canadians were shocked and the Liberals, with the assistance of the NDP, shamefully shut down the committee after one full round of questions.
My question to you, sir, is who hired GC Strategies to work on ArriveCAN. Government officials at CBSA are pointing fingers at each other. They're blaming each other. They're not answering the questions. I know you're not responsible for CBSA, but you're certainly responsible for the funding that went to CBSA to pay the $11 million to a two-person company that works out of their basement, who did no IT work whatsoever, but instead simply did a Google search and found IT professionals and pocketed $11 million of taxpayer money. Who hired GC Strategies?
