I believe they misled this committee. They worked with GC Strategies. They went to 10 different departments.
They've systematically told this committee that they thought they were going to make $26 million a year and that Mr. Utano had told them that they were going to make $26 million a year.
There were no such commitments made. There was no contracting put in place. The CBSA would never have contracted for the federal government. Even in terms of that, as I've clearly stated, the client for Botler wasn't IT. The client was HR. If the client didn't want that work, they didn't do the work.
I left a month and half after the Botler work started. I can't speak to the work and I can't speak to the complaints. I can't speak to the allegations that came a year later. All I can tell you is that the CBSA has never contacted me about ArriveCAN or Botler. The RCMP has never contacted me about Botler.
I've done my best to provide a fulsome recollection of events so that this committee understands what my actions were. I can speak only for my actions.
