Thank you.
I'm Erin O'Gorman. I'm the president of the Canada Border Services Agency. I believe you have my remarks.
I would just briefly flag that the need for the ArriveCAN app arose when it became impractical for the Public Health Agency to manage the manual paper-based process to pass the information necessary to provinces and territories, and to carry out enforcement and compliance activities. I think we will speak more about that today.
I would point out that the CBSA has published a breakdown of the expenditures related to ArriveCAN. Again, I think we can elaborate on that further.
I would just like to point out and address the error that was contained in the CBSA's response to order paper Q-597. ThinkOn was wrongly listed as a contractor; it should have been Microsoft. The error was a human one and resulted from a one-key mistake that led to the reporting discrepancy. I apologize to the committee for that mistake, confirm that our CFO has double-checked and is satisfied that there are no other errors contained in the order paper question response, and can attest to its accuracy.
I will end there, Mr. Chair.
Thank you.
