A public servant who has been named multiple times in parliamentary hearings on the ArriveCan controversy is denying responsibility for the project's contracting issues.
Earlier this year, the auditor general reported a number of contracting irregularities with the app and said the high cost of the project — estimated at roughly $60 million — was due in part to the government's over-reliance on outside contractors. Firth disagreed with the suggestion that the contract requirements favoured his company. He named Daly when pressed to identify those he had communicated with about those requirements.
Daly also claimed that she had raised a number of issues about GC Strategies' documentation related to the project.GC Strategies, which is currently being investigated by the RCMP, was a PSPC pre-approved contractor, Daly said. She suggested there could be issues with that department's vetting process.
Utano and MacDonald said Minh Doan, previously their superior, was the one who selected GC Strategies for ArriveCan and accused him of lying to MPs about the project.
