A motion calling for the company at the forefront of the ArriveCan scandal to reimburse $64 million to taxpayers within 100 days has passed, despite the Liberal government voting against it.

The non-binding motion calls for the government to “get taxpayers their money back” from IT consulting firm GC Strategies within 100 days of the motion’s adoption, and for the company and any of its subsidiaries to be barred from contracting with the government for life.
