Certainly. Okay.
Moving on to BDO, I have similar types of questions.
Did you work with GC Strategies?
Managing Partner, Markets & Industry, BDO Canada
We had a working relationship through our Lixar division. We acquired Lixar in March 2020.
Conservative
Managing Partner, Markets & Industry, BDO Canada
Overall I would have to come back and give you the specific numbers.
Conservative
Larry Brock Conservative Brantford—Brant, ON
Okay.
How about Dalian and Coradix? Did you work with them?
Managing Partner, Markets & Industry, BDO Canada
With Coradix, I did not. With Dalian for ArriveCAN, I did not.
I'll come back with a specific number. It's in the range of three to four outside the scope of ArriveCAN.

You were the subcontractor, and Dalian was the contractor to a department of the Government of Canada?

Do you have a ballpark figure in terms of the dollar value?
Managing Partner, Markets & Industry, BDO Canada
I'll give you a ballpark, a rough order of magnitude, which was about $800,000. It could have crept up to $1 million, so I'll give that as the rough order of magnitude for the contracts collectively.

To Mr. Abbott and Ms. Foster, were you directed by any government official to specifically work with Dalian and/or GC Strategies?
