Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre today introduced a motion in the House of Commons to audit the federal government’s $54 million spending on the ArriveCan app.

“It wasn’t necessary, it didn’t work, and it could have been paid for with only $250,000 instead of $54 million,” Poilievre said of the app in the House of Commons on Nov. 1.
