MPs on a House of Commons committee have voted unanimously to further study the contracts surrounding the COVID-19-era application ArriveCan, following a recent revelation that the RCMP is looking into the matter.

“Our concerns began simply in an effort to get value for the money of Canadians, to get value for taxpayers’ money. But unfortunately, it has come to so much more than this,” Conservative MP Stephanie Kusie told the government operations committee on Oct. 17.
