Public Services and Procurement

During Question Period on public services and procurement, the Bloc Québécois’s Sébastien Lemire raised concerns about the Cúram software used to process Old Age Security pensions, saying the government was spending an additional $451 million on pension delivery despite insisting there were no problems, and calling for an independent public inquiry. Minister Patty Hajdu replied that the system modernization is needed to pay benefits reliably, said the government is staying within budget and proceeding with urgency, noted she and officials have testified at committee, and said the benefits wait-list has already dropped by at least 20,000 cases.Written by AI from the debate.
