MPs Seek Rare Rebuke of ArriveCan Contractor Who Declined Questions on $25M Contract
-
MPs seek to have ArriveCan contractor Kristian Firth formally rebuked by House Speaker for refusing to answer questions before a committee.
-
Firth appeared before a committee regarding GC Strategies' role in developing criteria later used to award the firm a $25M ArriveCan contract.
-
Firth declined questions about which government officials he worked with to develop those criteria, citing an RCMP investigation.
-
Only 3 private citizens have been formally admonished before the House since 1913 - Firth would be the fourth.
-
Debate was adjourned before a vote on the motion to summon Firth; will resume when House returns April 8.
