Mr. Speaker, after ArriveCAN, the auditor has uncovered a new contracting scandal: Accenture.
Ottawa gave $313 million to this multinational to manage the CEBA loans for it during the pandemic. That is five times the cost of ArriveCAN, and, as with ArriveCAN, the money was paid untendered, without a spending limit and without any auditing. The Auditor General talked about how all the departments involved allowed for an “accountability void”.
Are the Liberals allergic to accountability?
