Talking point: ArriveCan was intended to speed up border crossings amid COVID-19 restrictions and was a lightning rod before the allegations of contracting impropriety. In the committee meeting, Liberal MP Majid Jowhari said the contents of a preliminary investigative report the committee got from the Canadian Border Services Agency are “scary,” and he’d rather have the results of a police investigation before asking questions. Bloc MP Julie Vignola said the committee can dig into every detail of the procurement in time, but “patience is a virtue.” A broad auditor general’s report on the ArriveCan project is due Monday.
