The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are investigating alleged cases of fraud allegedly committed by three subcontractors who won contracts with the federal government.
According to information presented by the Minister of Public Services and Procurement of Canada, Jean-Yves Duclos, the subcontractors in question would have fraudulently invoiced approximately $5 million fees to several ministries and organizations between 2018 and 2022.
These private information technology entrepreneurs, whose identity was not revealed to protect the integrity of the investigation, would have billed several departments for hours at the same time for the same work.< /p>
Around forty departments were thus cheated, according to the internal investigation carried out by Public Services and Procurement Canada, which transferred the file to the RCMP.
If the suspicions prove to be founded, around ten other files of this type could be transferred to the federal police.

These investigations do not have nothing to do with the ArriveCAN application file or the subcontractor GC Strategies.
Minister Duclos said the Trudeau government had created a new supplier integrity and compliance office to prevent similar situations from happening again.
He added that the government would now require full transparency from its suppliers regarding their use of subcontractors and their pricing.
