Arrive Scam: Are fraud & forgery NOT ENOUGH to ban GCStrategies from receiving government contracts?

“We had the principal for GC Strategies, Mr. Firth, here at a parliamentary committee. In the testimony that I’m certain you’re privy to—you’ve seen it—he admitted to falsifying information that he used to win a bid. He lied, and he admitted that at committee. Whether or not the RCMP can use that in a criminal investigation is a separate question, but can PSPC use it? He admitted to fraudulent activity in order to win bids from the Government of Canada. Is that not enough? He has also been caught multiple times objectively lying to a parliamentary committee, but are fraud and forgery not sufficient grounds to ban, to blacklist and to have a prohibition in perpetuity for a contractor when we’re talking about tax dollars?“
