Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I see that today we actually have some gentlemen at the committee of whom I'd like to ask some questions about CARM. I see Mr. Leahy there and Mr. Martel, the director of procurement.
The challenge that I have with CARM is the complete lack of consistent statements on when this project began and how much it would cost. To paraphrase Hamlet, it seems like there's something rotten in Denmark.
Mr. Gallivan testified at the trade committee that this was started in 2010 and it was a $370-million project.
In the Canada Gazette, part II, that just came out on March 13, 2024, the government states, “In 2014, the CBSA began the design and implementation of the CARM project”, and that the CARM project is a $526-million contract.
