House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, so, if I understand correctly, the first contracts he received, he received them before he even knew exactly how it all worked. If I remember correctly, these first contracts were awarded back in 2015, when GC Strategies was founded. Despite not knowing exactly how i

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, does the witness believe that civil servants in general, and those working on ArriveCAN in particular, followed the rules, procedures and policies related to their strategic and privileged position within the government apparatus when negotiating the contracts his co

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, does the witness believe that public servants complied with the rules, procedures and policies related to their strategic and privileged position within the government apparatus in negotiating contracts for GC Strategies?

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, I understand that the witness is not familiar with the rules of the public service. However, did any public servant with whom he had contact tell him, at any time, that they could not do certain things that did not abide by the rules that apply to public servants?

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, it has been noted, particularly by the Auditor General, that people from GC Strategies helped develop the criteria for a contract that they ultimately won. Does the witness believe that any company that participates in developing criteria should withdraw from a call

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, I was talking about what happened long before ArriveCAN. I was talking about what happened at the very beginning, when GC Strategies first became a company recognized by the Government of Canada. How did that happen? How did the company make its mark?

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, the motion to adopt the report that we are studying today is very important and undoubtedly reveals some delays and mistakes by the government, including for certain visas.

OQPAC is a welcoming place dedicated to supporting, listening to and providin

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am going to ask my colleague the same question I asked earlier. Canada's provincial premiers are not Parliament's puppets. They will never be Parliament's puppets, no matter who is in power. Should it not be up to Canada's provincial premiers themselves to de

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, on the one hand, we are seeing a desire to reduce our carbon footprint, but on the other hand, we are seeing investments in the oil industry, in particular, as well as in carbon capture, which is not very effective. Does my colleague not think that there is a doub

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my question will be simple. Yes, it is important that every Canadian premier feels not only heard but also listened to. However, is it really up to the House of Commons to order anyone, including the provincial premiers, to sit down with the Prime Minister of Cana
