Your report is very enlightening. We talked about it already this week, in another committee. It's shocking. It's truly shocking that an application that should have cost a few tens of thousands of dollars ended up costing some $59.5 million. It might be more, it might be less. We don't know since the documentation is missing.
As it turns out, COVID Alert is another application that was developed during the pandemic.
If I may, honourable members, I'd like to give notice of a motion that has to do with an application. We can debate the motion later. I will go ahead and read it. You should receive it shortly.
I move:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(1), the Committee order the government and Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) to produce, in both official languages, a copy of all contracts, communications, memoranda, requests for proposals and proposal submissions involving GC Strategies, as well as all governmental or internal communications from any government authorities or departments, related to the COVID Alert application, no later than March 15, 2024, as long as these documents are free of any redactions.
The motion concerns an application involving GC Strategies, PSPC and Health Canada. We can talk about it a little later, if you like. I think, here again, there is a connection between GC Strategies and certain public servants at the time of their transfer to Health Canada.
