A government employee suspended over misconduct allegations linked to ArriveCan has accused the Canada Border Services Agency’s (CBSA) president of lying to a parliamentary committee about not knowing who chose GC Strategies to work on the app.

“Even [President] Erin O'Gorman pretended that she didn’t know who selected GC Strategies, yet she was briefed on it,” former CBSA Director Cameron MacDonald told the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates (OGGO) on Feb. 22.
