Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will be very brief.
Obviously, what we saw this week from the Auditor General was an appalling display of incompetence and potential corruption. What we've seen is an appalling lack of documentation and a lack of forthcomingness. I think we have to address this.
I would note that today in question period, Minister Dominic LeBlanc said something to the effect that we need to make sure “that every document is available”. To that end, I would like to move a production motion. It will be circulated to the committee in both official languages.
I move:
That, given that the Auditor General was unable to properly audit subcontractors used by GC Strategies and other contractors in ArriveCan and the Procurement Ombudsman found that 76% of subcontractors used in ArriveCan did no actual work, the Committee:
a. order the Canada Border Services Agency, the Public Health Agency of Canada, Public Services and Procurement Canada and all other government departments and agencies involved in ArriveCan to provide a complete list of subcontractors that received work on ArriveCan, the service provided, and the total amount of money paid under the subcontracts within seven days of this motion being adopted;
b. order the main ArriveCan contractors, including GC Strategies, Dalian Enterprises Incorporated, Amazon Web Services, Inc., Microsoft Canada Inc., TEKsystems, Inc., Donna Cona Inc., BDO Canada LLP, MGIS Inc., 49 Solutions, Makwa Resourcing Inc./TPG Technology Consulting Limited, and Advanced Chippewa Technologies Inc. to provide a complete list of subcontractors that received work on ArriveCan, the service provided and the total amount of money paid under the subcontracts within seven days of this motion being adopted;
c. order the Auditor General to provide a complete list of the 21 “Other” contractors, that received a combined $6 million, identified in Exhibit 1.1 of the ArriveCan app, the service provided and the total amount of money paid under the contracts within seven days of this motion being adopted;
d. order GC Strategies and all relevant government departments, agencies and Crown corporations to produce a complete list of subcontractors used, the service provided and the total amount of money paid in relation to all contracts GC Strategies has received since 2015, within seven days of this motion being adopted; and
e. report this motion to the House for its information.
I think it's pretty clear that this is information we as a committee need and that the Canadian public deserves answers to.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
