'WTF!?': Poilievre grills Trudeau over $258M given to IT firm with 4 employees to develop ArriveCAN

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre asked the Liberal government during question period in the House of Commons on Wednesday about GC Strategies, an IT firm which received a total of $258 million from the Trudeau government since 2015, according to an Auditor General's report.

“One ArriveCAN company received a quarter of a billion dollars in contracts. It’s a company with four employees, headquartered in the basement of a tiny cottage. They got IT contracts even though they admit they do no IT work. A quarter of a billion dollars? W—T—F,” said Poilievre.

“In this case, the auditor general has highlighted some very concerning questions that need to be answered,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau replied.

How are any of these people held accountable? They're held less accountable than actual criminals! INSANE.

$258, 000, 000. To a couple of dudes. In a cottage. For IT services. But they don't do IT stuff. And you can't afford food and rent.

That “where’s the funds” was pretty damn clever lol

[raydreamer]

W. T. F. = Where's The Funds ! ! ! I love watching a real intelligent person speak publicly !

[ashrafluca]

We do not need firing, apologies nor resignations. We need criminal investigation and jail

Canadian parliament has never been interesting… then poelievre entered the scene front and center and I can’t get enough of seeing this guy scorch Trudeau.

[rvtexkd]

The House Speaker is absolutely atrocious! He needs to be fired!!!

[paulgaasenbeek]

This is sick. Why would they get all that money? Time to audit them.

[gabrielesutton]

This corruption needs to be leading to criminal charges!

[kratosboy]

What Happened To Politicians Would could Finish A Sentence Without Saying “Uh, Uh, Uh”

[physalisgp]

Quarter of a billion gone and they’re worried about “parliamentary language”. Again a quarter of a billion dollars, for an app.

Those 4 employees must have been very good friends of Justin. Any kickbacks here?

[PortersXRay]

I’m sitting here. 23. Bachelors degree. No hope for ever owning a house in a million years. Paying tax on $1, 300 I make biweekly. Seeing this is torture

[andrewkelly]

Where's the funds?
He is a legend!

[dracorpgroup]

This requires a criminal investigation, now. ASAP

[editorrbr]

I’m an American and somehow I have stumbled into this black hole of watching the Canadian version of PMQ — and not one time have I heard Justin Trudeau actually ever answer a question.
Is this commonplace?

[Phantom-_-Crash]

This is a clown fest, and the conservative party is laughing at the act. Gotta love it! GET TRUDEAU OUT OF OFFICE!!!!

[LizaH]

“How do you like them apples?”
“Where’s the funds?!”

Gold.

[andreasmock]

I like how its called unparliamentary to even use abbreviations but not unparliamentary to not answer questions even though its called question period

[LittleFoot]

1/4 billion given to a 4 employee company and speaker worried about parliament language. What a disaster
