Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Trudeau paid $20M to GC Strategies on ArriveCon..
Auditor General Karen Hogan released a report on Monday revealing that federal spending on the ArriveCan app and its “glaring disregard for basic management practices” cost Canadian taxpayers an estimated $59.5 million with little value provided.
Monday’s audit report came following the House of Commons passing a motion in November 2022 to conduct a detailed study on the government’s management of the ArriveCan application which was shut down by Ottawa due to a lack of use.
The earliest estimates for the application put costs at only $80,000, a figure that quickly ballooned to over $54 million.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government ordered the development of the ArriveCan app in March 2020 to collect contact and health information from travelers and assist with quarantine measures. It then expanded the project to also process the customs and immigration forms required by people entering Canada.
