Almost exactly a year after Andy Lee exposed ArriveCan corruption in depth, the Globe and Mail and Auditor-General are finally getting in on the action.
Ms. Hogan made her comments during an emergency meeting of the House of Commons public accounts committee, which was scheduled in response to The Globe’s report that the Canada Border Services Agency had been alerted to allegations of improper contracting practices and cozy relationships between the public service and the private companies that worked on the app. The Globe also reported that the agency had referred the allegations to the RCMP, who have decided to launch an investigation.
The problem of course, as we just noted, is this story from October 15th...you know, a year ago:
You cannot find the exact address of the company, yet, you can figure out that the company is unquestionably engaged in malicious activities.
First off, the listed owner, Cameron Wessel, was also in charge of GC Strategies in the US. But in 2021, the tax board halted the business over charges of tax evasion.
In a given interview, Cameron Wessel said that the inception of the company was back in 2015 as a result of a few beer drinks between friends. The company had multiple lucrative government contracts and developed into one of Ottawa’s fastest-growing businesses.
The GCSstrategies team members also work for other businesses with federal support. According to reports, one of the staff members listed on GC Strategies’ website also works for Global Affairs Canada.
What’s more surprising here is that he has his own company too. The employee stresses that his company, titled “AltNexus,” has “been providing solutions to the Federal Government for more than 15 years.”
Andy Lee was catching these problems in August...again, that's August of 2022. But if you only got your news from the Fake News Presstitutes at the Globe this week would be the first you're hearing about it.
