Canadian Parliamentarian Blasts $54M Spent On ArriveCAN App By “Company That Has No Office And Only Five Staff”

Today, Taylor Bachrach of Skeena-Bulkley Valley, British Columbia, stood up to call out what appears to be an impressive money laundering scheme, and to demand accountability from government officials in charge of the scheme. He detailed how the ArriveCAN app, which tracked all travelers health and vaccination status, cost Canadian taxpayers a whopping $54 million dollars, which he says is “more than twice the original estimate.” He went on to explain that just last week, the public learned that “most of that money went to a company with no offices and only five staff.” He connected the dots by explaining that “this government was using this company to shield subcontractors from accountability and transparency.”

Amid applause, Bachrach asked whether the government will finally disclose all the subcontracted companies that received those tens of millions of taxpayer dollars so that Canadians can know how their money was spent.

Bryan May, the Parliamentary Secretary, launched a defense saying that “our government has been focused on protecting the health and safety of all Canadians throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.” He explained that the ArriveCAN app was designed to aid the government in these efforts to protect Canadian citizens and their border. The crowd can be heard booing in response, obviously displeased not only with the ArriveCAN app scheme, but also with the rosy picture being painted of the Canadian government’s prolonged authoritarian response to COVID-19.

Will a single person be surprised if it comes out that some government official’s son, sister, uncle, or spouse was receiving tens of millions for their “contract” services associated with the app?
