But the company told CBC News in an email that Yeo only became a DND employee in September of last year, months after the company had completed its contract on ArriveCan. Dalian emailed CBC News this week after not responding to earlier requests for more information. Dalian and Yeo declined interview requests from CBC News.

Yeo's LinkedIn profile — which has been deleted recently — previously indicated that he had been with DND since 1987. But Dalian said in its email that Yeo had served in the Canadian Armed Forces from 1987 to 2001, before founding Dalian in 2002.
