Officials at Public Services and Procurement Canada expressed frustration at the lack of information coming from CBSA, which was primarily responsible for the ArriveCan project
That same day, according to the internal documents, a procurement department official questioned whether contracting rules related to reviewing costs and profits were followed in selecting GCStrategies.
“I am worried that the team did not take all the necessary steps normally required with respect to cost and profit analysis for the ArriveCan contract,” he wrote in an Oct. 28 e-mail. In a July 18 response to Globe questions about the documents, PSPC spokesperson Michèle LaRose said GCStrategies was hired to meet an urgent need at the onset of the pandemic.Guillaume Bérubé, a spokesperson for the border agency, told The Globe in a July 18 e-mail that the agency works collaboratively with other departments in preparing for committee appearances.
“Despite repeated attempts on a daily basis, CBSA has not yet shared any definitive/official list,” wrote Laura Medeiros, a senior director, wrote in a Nov. 9 e-mail to colleagues. “Given the issues around the contracts lists, the lack of clarity on which contracts we put in place, I would not recommend giving a document to the MPs at this time,” he said in a Nov. 11 e-mail.
“Alright. CBSA took a lot of questions. Members pushed a bit on GC Strategies but did not gain much ground. The bad news is that they ended by passing a resolution asking for OPO to investigate ArriveCan contracting,” she wrote. The committee had unanimously called on the Office of the Procurement Ombudsman to investigate the matter.
