Canadian companies that answered the government's call to produce ventilators and other desperately needed equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic say they're worried that opposition MPs are now demanding disclosure of the contracts they signed with Ottawa.

In a letter to Procurement Minister Anita Anand, Canadian Exporters and Manufacturers president Dennis Darby says members of his group are "very concerned" that proprietary, sensitive or confidential business information will be released as the result of a Conservative motion.

The motion, to be put to a vote in the House of Commons on Monday, demands that the government turn over to the Commons health committee all documents on a raft of issues related to the government's handling of the pandemic, including the purchase of personal protective equipment and testing products.

In a separate letter to opposition party leaders and the government House leader, the co-chair of the COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force also expresses concern that the motion demands all records related to the task force's advice to the government on potential vaccine candidates. Joanne Langley says to do its work, the task force has entered into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with Canadian and international vaccine companies.

BULLSHIT FAKE NEWS

A little better balance in journalism please. Your job is much more demanding than parroting the PMO. Such biased reporting is going to get the CTV on the de-funding hit list right next to the CBC.

This is just sick and shitty reporting. If contracts are above board there should be nothing to fear. If there has been under the table dealings then it should be exposed.

Quit with the Liberal propaganda already. CTV is just terrible never reporting the real news like the extreme TrudeauCorruption. I would like to say I'm not sure why MSM is so Liberal propaganda but the huge $$$ they receive from taxpayers is probably the answer.

Liberal Fear mongering

Conservatives again putting Canadians at risk.

Are they hiding something too?

BS

When Canadians can’t go on holidays anymore because our dollar is worth so little then we will see why this is so important

after Conservatives spun and lied We Charity out of business what Canadian business wants to be next ? Conservatives are running a witch hunt and are out of control.

Something to hide?

Would those companies be the one run by the Liberal former-MP who got a huge contract. The Liberal insiders always protect their own. How could releasing terms of a contract affect production?

This is basic knowledge. Conservatives don’t believe anyone needs PPE because they think covid is a hoax all because their leader in the states said so.

That's political spin coming out of the PMO. It's pure and unadulterated bull 💩

Conservatives Never miss an opportunity to sellout Canadian business for foreign campaign contibutions

A multi $ million contract to a 1week old company that has never made ventilators? Or a drug company with no plant? Both Liberal cronies. DoYourJob CTV.

'[M]embers of his group are 'very concerned' that proprietary, sensitive or confidential business information will be released as the result of a Conservative motion.' All the CPC_HQ cons do is try to sabotage govt & its COVID response. That party should never hold power again.

Of course CTV would say that being funded by the liberals to help their corrupt agenda

Lol, any hard questions directed towards your over lords?

Of course they’re going to say that. They don’t want the napkin deals worth billions made public. They’re as dirty as the liberals and will not embarrass the libranos after Trudeau said he wouldn’t give the public documents to be scrutinized.

Nonsense, more smoke screen

We have a pandemic in Canada and the world with case and death numbers rising every day while the Conservatives play Trivial Pursuit. ❤️✌️🇨🇦

Ask any tough questions of the Liberals and the whole country will come to a standstill. The Emperor must not be bothered with this whole democracy thing. Brutal.

Gotta hide how corrupt they are, Turn on the lights and the cockroaches scatter...

Worried? Why? Hmmm. It’s Trudeau and Liberals. Let me guess. Lies. Corruption. Kick backs. Single source awards. Birds of a feather. I’m glad they’re worried. Go get them erinotoole 👍🏻

So what you are really saying is a lot of these contracts are super shady..........

That’s called transparency with regards to govt spending.

Gawd you people are evil. FakeNews

Total BS. Provide transparency on procurement.

Why is it so f€£king hard to ask of our governments to disclose what they are doing with TAXPAYERS $. They represent us, what f€£king part of that do they not under f€£king stand? I would be happy to explain that to JustinTrudeau because it has not clicked in his brain yet.

Complete liberal_party propaganda. This type of reporting is an example of how MSM has been bought and paid for by JustinTrudeau

CTNNews = garbage

Absolute BULLSHITE.

propaganda machine humming along nicely 🤮

Why do companies and politicians think we're idiots? You can specifically put all the docs in Privy Council, similar to how National Security concerns are addressed, through some transparency.

Translation, companies linked to the liberal party are opposed to transparent procurement policies

Horseshit!
