What I've seen from the access to information request I referenced, which is 2018-00247, GC Strategies had very regular contact with the chief technology officer of Canada. There's a reference in an email that they typically touch base once a quarter. I can produce the records for the committee, which are essentially just pitches they would pose as an intermediary company, where a third party technology company would provide services. For example, they pitched a project to the chief technology officer to reform the access to information's search function on the Open Canada website.
As a starting point, I would like to get the correspondence and dates of the calendar meetings between those individuals. I think that's really important. There is a registration function for lobbyists, which I think probably should be the case for entities like this. Within the access to information system, the sort of manual itself, I think there should be clearly enunciated rules that subcontracts in these types of situations should be open.
