It doesn't for that kind of money.
Ms. Dutt sent an email—the second email—with allegations of misconduct in December 2021. Botler's project was terminated the very next day. I have to say that the timing of this stinks of reprisal, especially since, just a couple of weeks earlier, CBSA was telling Botler they were assigning new resources to aid the project.
What changed? Why was Botler's project terminated?
I asked PSPC this question, but they couldn't answer. If you can't, I'd like CBSA to answer this in writing.
