As the Government Operations Committee continues its investigation into the ArriveCAN app, a consultant was grilled on whether he previously lied about having contacts with the deputy prime minister’s office, leading one Conservative MP to say he was concerned by the repeated lack of honesty from public servants testifying before the committee.
“What I’m most struck by is the cover-up that we are seeing in the context of these hearings. It should be fairly easy for both public servants and consultants to appear on the committee and simply tell us the truth,” said Conservative MP Garnett Genuis during a Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates (OGGO) meeting with witness Vaughn Brennan on Jan. 17.
