Minister of Public Services and Procurement Jean-Yves Duclos repeatedly refused to answer questions from Conservative MPs on who at the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) was responsible for hiring GC Strategies to develop the controversial ArriveCAN app.

“Who at the CBSA was responsible for the decision to hire GC Strategies? Will you undertake, for the fifth time now of me asking this question, to give us that answer?” asked Conservative MP Larry Brock on Nov. 27.
