Government Operations committee  No. They did not contract us.

Government Operations committee  But these identities that were stolen were executed through a TA that was used for ArriveCAN. There was criminal theft of our identifies on a contract with ArriveCAN.

Government Operations committee  That is correct. I believe Ms. O'Gorman said she also briefed the Minister of Public Safety, so I would assume that would be one of the individuals who would have been aware.

Government Operations committee  When responses are being made on behalf of Canada, based on the laws and regulations PSPC has, a statement on behalf of Canada is made on behalf of the Minister of Public Services and Procurement. We also know from different ATIPs that there were redactions regarding the involvement of ministers and ministerial staff.

Government Operations committee  Before we reported the misconduct, I had briefed Minister Miller and Minister Lametti during a press conference on our justice work that we were working on the CBSA project. However, we did not involve ministers directly because we were already receiving responses on behalf of Canada.

Government Operations committee  There was a press conference in March 2021 for the announcement of our initiative with the Department of Justice's legal aid directorate for the citizen-facing solution. I believe it was before the press conference began. There were a few minutes, so I was chatting with both ministers.

Government Operations committee  From our own communications directly, when we started submitting reports to PSPC, which was in the summer, starting from May, we started addressing Canada. When we address Canada, that means we're addressing the Minister of PSPC. That's when we started direct communications, but we believe that they had knowledge before this.

Government Operations committee  Sure. I can also provide to the clerk with the ATIP numbers so that you can ask for the unredacted versions, but I believe this one specifically was an ATIP of an ATIP. I had sent an ATIP to the CBSA asking for records of communications made by the CBSA's Diane Daly outside of a contractual relationship with us.

Government Operations committee  I'll give you the ATIP numbers, and then you can ask for those unredacted.

Government Operations committee  Sure. Would I send this to the clerk?

Government Operations committee  As I mentioned, in December 2022, after we submitted the misconduct report to the CBSA, my emails were hacked and any records of emails that were sent from Kristian Firth directly to me were mysteriously deleted from my inbox. Since then we have an email tracking solution called Mailtrack.

Government Operations committee  Yes, it's anything related to the misconduct. It's not necessarily just on GC Strategies or Dalian but also on reports we're sending and communications with CBSA, PSPC, Treasury Board Secretariat and any entity associated with the larger systemic government corruption we have uncovered.

Government Operations committee  Yes, I have an ATIP, and I would be happy to table that.

Government Operations committee  The ATIP was from Dalian. It showed they were billing for individuals who were conducting the work. It was for me, and there were two other names that were redacted. From the TA, we know those names were Amir and an individual named Patrick van Abbema.

Government Operations committee  No, we only learned through an ATIP.
