Public Services and Procurement

During question period on public services and procurement, the Bloc Québécois asked about cost overruns on the Cúram government software project, which it said has risen to nearly $7 billion and which makes it harder for seniors to get their pensions; the Bloc said the new Liberal majority was refusing to release related documents and used its majority in committee to block information, and pointed to $451 million added for Cúram in the economic update. The Liberal parliamentary secretary replied that the government has been open about the project, noting $1.8 billion invested against a $4.8 billion budget, that the old age security modernization phase came in under budget, and that the system administers OAS, EI and the CPP, with the first phase proceeding as planned and later phases still to come.Written by AI from the debate.
