The heads of the companies Coradix and Dalian, which received millions of taxpayer dollars to develop the ArriveCan app and then subcontracted the work to other companies, were grilled on Oct. 31 by Conservative MPs on what value they provided to Canadians.
“You represent a two-person company that receives contracts and then subcontracts, and you’ve received millions of dollars from taxpayers for the process of receiving contracts and then subcontracting.
