I don't think we want to hear from authorities. I think Canadians want to hear from you that you will take responsibility for the use of this company, which is still allowed to be used across government. This is just completely unacceptable.
I will give you some more information, Minister. Perhaps you'll have a better response for Canadians to this.
GC Strategies reached out to the CBSA to create a relationship to sell Botler AI's technology and help it fulfill its obligations under Bill C-65. Let's make the connection. GC Strategies, which was used with the ArriveCAN app, is also being used within this contract. Instead of directly paying GC Strategies, the company it was in communication with, the CBSA decided to pay Dalian and Coradix to pay GC Strategies to pay Botler through an existing contract. This contract was valued at $21.2 million, and was informatics professional services.... It was also used, Minister, for ArriveCAN.
Does this contracting process concern you at all? If it does, what are you doing about it right now for Canadians?
This should be very concerning for you. This has seized meeting upon meeting of the government operations committee.
Please share with Canadians what actions you are taking right now—today—to ensure that we never have another RCMP investigation into this level of potential fraud with the government ever again.
Thank you, Minister.
