Again, I'm buried two gates deep doing high-assurance security, trying to get it out to our war fighters, so getting right into this file was probably my first shot, back in October of last year, realistically, when we got the notification that we needed to go and talk to OGGO. From a timeline perspective, that's where I sit, from getting right into the file.
However, after gaining some knowledge on it, my understanding is that this goes back to 2019. We had a very good contract with the CBSA, a staff augmentation contract through PSPC, and we were doing some good things over there. The intent of the CBSA was actually to bring over 25% of its server applications from the CBSA on-prem to the AWS cloud. I think that's where it started in 2019.
Then, obviously, in the early 2020s, we had this whole COVID-outbreak thing happen and all of this craziness that happened with the ramp-up to getting ArriveCAN out the door. We were a small part of that; we were $4.9 million of that—$1.6 million per year and 20 part-time contracts. From that perspective, that's where I think it started.
When it finished was May 2023, from what I understand, and that was certainly well before I started with the public service.
