A public inquiry examining a failed digital shift by Quebec’s automobile insurance board heard Monday it could end up costing the province nearly half a billion dollars more than initially planned.
Alain Fortin, Quebec’s interim auditor general, testified that cost overruns could mean the final tally for the so-called SAAQclic project will come in at $1.1 billion by 2027, nearly $500 million more than was budgeted.
