With a House of Commons committee about to investigate the Liberal government’s awarding of contracts to consulting firm McKinsey, other contract issues surfacing and re-surfacing were addressed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Jan. 23, with him calling the ArriveCan contract “illogical.”

“Obviously this is a practice that seems highly illogical and inefficient, and I have made sure that the clerk of the Privy Council is looking into procurement practices to make sure that we’re getting value for money and that we’re doing things in a smart and logical way,” Trudeau said in Toronto while visiting Xanadu Quantum Technologies.
