“Due to the serious nature of the concerns raised, DND is launching an internal investigation into the matter. The individual has been suspended while this investigation is underway. We are in the process of suspending contracts with Dalian,” a DND spokesperson told The Epoch Times.
David Yeo, the CEO of Dalian Enterprises, is employed as a member of the Materiel group on the civilian side of DND, according to CTV News. His firm was contracted to work on the ArriveCan app used to check the COVID-19 vaccination status of travellers crossing into Canada.That application has been at the centre of a political firestorm in recent months due to its exorbitant costs, totalling an estimated $59.5 million. The auditor general’s recently released report on ArriveCan found that proper contracting and management practices around the app at several government agencies were not followed, key records were inexplicably missing, and there was little documentation to show why the IT firm GC Strategies was chosen to work on the project and paid $19.1 million.
