Company that worked on ArriveCan app barred from government contracts for 7 years
GC Strategies partner Kristian Firth responds to questions as he sits in the House of Commons, Wednesday, April 17, 2024 in Ottawa. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld OTTAWA — Ottawa says it has banned the largest contractor that worked on the ArriveCan app from entering into contracts or real property agreements with the government for seven years. Public Services and Procurement Canada has announced that GC Strategies Inc. has been deemed 'ineligible' after an assessment of the supplier's conduct. Last year, the department suspended the security status of GC Strategies, which the auditor general says was awarded more than $19 million for the project. The federal government launched the app in April 2020 as a way to track health and contact information for people entering Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to digitize customs and immigration declarations. On Monday, Canada's auditor general Karen Hogan is set to deliver an audit focusing on whether the contracts awarded and the payments made to GC Strategies and other companies were good value for money. Public Services and Procurement Canada says the government continues to take action to 'strengthen the integrity of the procurement process.' Catherine Morrison, The Canadian Press

Bill 69: Quebec government invokes closure to pass energy bill
Energy Minister Christine Fréchette during question period at the National Assembly on June 5, 2025. (Jacques Boissinot/The Canadian Press) The government's patience has reached its limit: it is invoking a gag order to force the rapid adoption of Bill 69 on energy. For several days now, the government has been laying the groundwork for the adoption, invoking closure for the bill, which aims to give Hydro-Québec free rein to increase its electricity production. Investments of nearly $200 billion are planned between now and 2035. Energy Minister Christine Fréchette argued that its rapid adoption will save $6 billion on the wind energy strategy, estimated at $30 billion. Premier François Legault has promised the creation of 'good jobs' if the bill is passed before the summer. However, the opposition parties are highly critical of the bill, considering it poorly drafted. The PQ and Québec Solidarity have even called for its outright withdrawal. Two weeks ago, Minister Fréchette tabled 52 amendments to modify her bill. The government accuses the opposition of obstructing the legislative process. Gagging is 'a parliamentary procedure used by the government to limit the time spent debating a motion or bill and to speed up its adoption,' according to the National Assembly website. The bill also aims to fulfil the government's promise to limit residential electricity rate increases to a maximum of 3 per cent. It will also allow a private company to sell its electricity to another and aims to simplify partnerships with Indigenous communities. Bill 69 was introduced in June 2024 by Super Minister Pierre Fitzgibbon, before he resigned a few months later. Minister Christine Fréchette took over, but the legislative process for the bill has been an arduous one. In December 2024, the minister cited Donald Trump and his threats of tariffs to justify the delays in moving the bill forward. Last February, the official Liberal opposition delayed consideration of the bill, also citing the American president. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on June 6, 2025.
