Conservatives Seek Testimony from ArriveCan Contractor as App Faces Renewed Scrutiny

Conservatives want to issue a formal summons for GC Strategies owners to appear before the government operations committee probing ArriveCan. If they don't appear, Conservatives want the Sergeant at Arms to compel their appearance.

The ArriveCan app is under renewed scrutiny after the auditor general's report found $60 million was spent but clear costs are unknown due to poor record keeping.

The RCMP said last week they are examining the auditor general's ArriveCan report.

The NDP wants the GC Strategies owners to testify and to examine their previous company's government contracts going back to 2010.

If witnesses don't comply with committee summons, committees can report it to the House of Commons to take potential further action like issuing an arrest warrant.
