The Canada Border Services Agency has acknowledged it provided inaccurate information to Parliament and that it did not award $1.2-million in contract work to Canadian tech firm ThinkOn for the ArriveCan app.that ThinkOn CEO Craig McLellan had written to the Canada Border Services Agency earlier in the week to express concern as to why his company was included in a list of 23 companies the agency said in a report to Parliament had worked on the ArriveCan app.
For two days, opposition MPs asked the government to explain why a company is listed as being awarded $1.2-million for ArriveCan, yet had not received a penny. Liberal MPs responded on Thursday and Friday that the CBSA was looking into the matter.“When asked to report on all the contracts for ArriveCan, we included ThinkOn in error. We did not have a contract with ThinkOn Inc. and no payment has been made to the company,” she wrote.
The Globe reported earlier this week that Victoria McQueen, a spokesperson for Ernst & Young – ranked 17th on the list of companies that worked on the app – said that the government’s reference to the company receiving $120,000 in ArriveCan work “appears to be an error.” The CBSA’s statement issued late Friday also clarified another issue with the list. The report to Parliament says a company called “Maplesoft” was awarded $626,000. MapleSoft CEO Laurent Bernardin told The Globe that his software company did not work on the app, but noted that his company is sometimes mistaken for another company called Maplesoft Group, a professional services company in Ottawa.
Lol
s_hughes815 Then heads must roll.
That makes me mad
WHY are we paying any taxes when they are being Given away by the Billions to Trudeaus Pet projects and Not Accountable
Entitle the information “Distribution of Truckers for Freedom Donations”, they’ll have the report done quickly & to the penny!
So now they are essentially admitting they were money laundering but won't say where it went. I got a rope.. Who's got a tall thing with branches in their back yard.
Lawyer up people.
This is not enough. There should be a full police investigation completed. This looks to me like an unprecedented lining of pockets. Canadians deserve to know where our tax dollars went. And if it was a misappropriation of taxpayer funds charges must be laid.
So they lied, were caught in the lie but it was a simple mistake?
So..they lied.
The general incompetence of the Trudeau government is by now a well established pattern.
TrudeauMustGo
Much more comforting.
100 people worked on the list. It could not be accurate.
Sounds like someone CBP needs to be fired.
Not inaccurate, tried to lie and got caught
Lol Trudeau and his government’s anti-Midas touch. Everything they touch turns to 💩
The Biggest load of 💩
What a clown show.
Inaccurate information?! They fucking lied to parliament! Somebody needs to go to jail over this.
How do these people balance the bank account if they dont know where the money went or to whom? Seems to be a problem. The WE Bros got $40M without a contract or approval out of our account too didn’t they.. who can transfer that kind of money without any approval?
Bit what about the other $53.8 million spent with taxpayer money? Can we get receipts? Or do we have to demand and FOIA them?
Oh Mendicino again.
Here we go 🤡
Smell that? Smells like… fraud.
This is such a fiasco. It would be funny but it is our dollars. And they do not care. Nothing will come out of this
Hard to keep up with the mismanagement and boondoggles of the Liberal Party. They gave $600,000 to fund the antisemite, racist, islamofascist Laith Marouf, so what’s another $1.2m pissed away.
Well someone has to take the blame so it doesn’t come back to bite the turd in the ass , like always throwing everyone else under the bus
Bigger question is, why did it taken 34 companies to get an appn off the ground. And a app that was a failure to boot! Liberals are thieves!! That money went somewhere that was definitely fraud!
Do you remember eHealth Ontario? $8B of tax payer’s money vanished under the Liberals AND Conservatives! Ontarians still lack integrated health records or reliable pandemic data. And now: those behind the scandal are leading the system! CMA_Docs OntariosDoctors OPHA_Ontario
It means they just LIED, right?
GTA approved corruption and incompetence. Does anything in this gov't work?
So is CBSA going to be detained and assessed a financial penalty for filing a false declaration?
A phone call from JT?!The most corrupted PM ever. 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘎𝘰 ArriveCan
Totally corrupt. Need audit
SharonT20519250 How much did the largest criminal organization in CDNA get the Trudeau Foundation. Guarantee alot of it was rerouted as a donation. A police investigation should happen. Oh wait the head of the RCMP is bought off as well. No wonder CDNA is so screwed
SharonT20519250 How many reviews into this liberal gov’s wrong doings are currently going on?
Oh, goodie: another opportunity to prove that accountability doesn't exist in Canada. These opportunities seem to be coming along almost daily now.
Trudeau MUST GO!
A FULL review…don’t we all feel reassured. 🤡🤡🤡
And you wonder why companies want their employees back in the office, instead of working from home
Who else received the 1.2 Million?
I smell a cover up
Just more of the same circus from the Trudeau Govt..everything this govt touches turns to crap. A forensic audit needs to be done on this latest scandal. TrudeauMustResign
Gertrud29409036 The liberal corruption with the flu-hoax runs deep.
Gertrud29409036 Sounds like a Flip Flop excuse.

I’ll bet it cost more right? They were scared to tell us the real cost. 54 million just sounded like a reasonable to JustinTrudeau CanadianPM & his side dog cafreeland liberal_party CBCNews cbcnewsbc CBCAlerts CTVNews globalnews AJEnglish BBCBreaking
Wow this is alot of oops! And if you cannot figure out who you paid 1.2 million too in hours and report that back quickly a private co would remove all involved and bring in a outside audit company to review the work!
This instills extreme confidence in govt oversight!
Who got rich?
Suuuuuuuuure
Where did it get that information, and how was that company even remotely linked to the app, if they had nothing to do with it? Something doesn't pass the smell test.
Why can’t Liberals answer the question as to where $54 million was spent?
How much did JT pay them to say this
Incompetence or corruption? When did our country become a banana republic?
You mean misinformation
Ummm… kind of a big “innacuracy”, there CanBorder 🤔
Non stop lies from this government
Just ignore the money laundering for an app that was replicated with 3 cups of coffee by a dude in his basement. Nothing to see here folks. Don't you dare ask questions. TrudeauCorruption TrudeauMustGo
How is incorrectly naming a company that received 1.2 million a human error? Unless the actual company who received that money has an almost exact name it’s not an error.
Lies, lies, lies & more lies Can’t spell Liberals without the letters “L”, “I”, “E” & “S”
No wonder I feel like this so often….
I’m Fu kin real
There is a fine line between incompetence and corruption. This government needs to be voted out.
Wow
Sure, that conveniently checks out🙄
Ooops!
So many boondoggles nobody can keep up.
this is ridiculous - 1000's of accountants and cant prepay a simple list of companies who worked on job and amount paid
Wide spread Incompetence
RobertFife One thing is for sure, it isnt the liberals fault. They are never really responsible for anything, even when they are wearing blackface or singing at the queens funeral. Otherwise they would resign in shame.
No wonder Canada is the world best Hockey Country in the world! We pass the puck like no one else in the world! Trudeau didn't lie about the 1.2m contract awarded to the company which just came out & said it didn't get that contract what so ever, the border agency did... 0-o
Follow the money. OAG_BVG EthicsCanada PS_Integrity PSPC_SPAC PBO_DPB TBS_Canada
What’s worse, incompetence to this degree or intentional deception? If the latter, what was the motivation? We live in an unserious country right now.
How much did the feds pay for all the fake reviews of ArriveCan? 🤣
So they lied.
Another scandal? Not surprised.
Sure they did... now.
