Despite assurances by Minister of Public Services and Procurement Jean-Yves Duclos that all contracts with the company primarily responsible for ArriveCan’s development have been suspended, his department says some contracts are still ongoing.
“By prudence, since November 2023 the contracts with GC Strategies were put on hold, particularly so that within [Canada Border Services Agency] there can be a review of the quality of the contracts,” Mr. Duclos told reporters on Feb. 14.
