There was no RFP. There was no request for contracts, because there was nothing being proposed at that point.

Are you aware that there are accusations against GC Strategies relative to their conduct in how they operated?
Liberal
Charles Sousa Liberal Mississauga—Lakeshore, ON
They've disputed that GC Strategies misrepresented them in regard to their résumés or their qualifications when they dealt with Dalian, I believe, and they ultimately got the contract. Are you aware of that?

Are you aware of Dalian's engagement in subcontracting, or did Dalian subcontract GC Strategies?

Do you know if Botler got paid for their services through GC Strategies or through Dalian?

Thank you, Mr. Sousa.
Colleagues, I apologize. I skipped over the Conservative round. I was so anxious to hear from Mr. Sousa.

The Chair Conservative Kelly McCauley
I'm sorry.
We'll go to Mr. Brock. Then it will be Mr. Genuis, Mr. Jowhari and the Bloc and the NDP.
Go ahead, Mr. Brock.

Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Anthony, do you currently have, or have you had in the past, any relatives working with the Government of Canada?
Conservative
Larry Brock Conservative Brantford—Brant, ON
All right.
I'm going to ask you a number of rapid-fire questions.
First, you'd agree with me, sir, that Kristian Firth really is the sole public face of government of Canada strategies.

On a point of order, Mr. Chair, I don't believe it's called “government of Canada strategies”. GC Strategies is the name of the company. We've already resolved that.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Kelly McCauley
That's not a point of order, Mr. Sousa, but thanks.
Mr. Brock, continue, sir.
