Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has admitted it was “illogical” for his government to give millions of dollars to a two-person firm to develop a coronavirus travel app after it emerged the firm subcontracted out the work.
GCstrategies had been given millions by the Trudeau government to develop the app and has subcontracted out around $8.3 million of the $9 million granted by the government.
The ArriveCAN app, which had been mandatory for all travellers entering Canada until October of last year, has been the subject of controversy after a company claimed to have been able to recreate the appat a fraction of the $54 million costs spent by the Trudeau government.
