“The government added $451 million to pay for software cost overruns after saying there were no problems. Then they blocked a committee investigation into it. Why are the Liberals hiding this information from Quebeckers?”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are abusing their majority to cover up the Cúram software scandal. After spending months denying that any problem related to OAS or any cost overruns even existed, the government has added $451 million for Cúram and the Canada Revenue Agency to its economic update. That means another cost overrun where none was supposed to exist, to fix problems where no problems were supposed to exist either. We will never know why, because the Liberals either resorted to filibustering or used their majority in committee to kill an investigation into Cúram. Why are they hiding this information from Quebeckers?”

“The Liberals are using their committee majority to shut down investigations into government spending and services. They are hiding things. I want the Prime Minister to step in and stop this.”

“Mr. Speaker, that is why the program has gone over budget five times already. The Liberals have had a majority in committee for seven days now. Already, they have killed an investigation into the Cúram cost overruns, which now total $7 billion. They decided that the investigation into Driver Inc. should be in camera, as though they care more about protecting dangerous truckers than the lives of Quebeckers. They have also shut down investigations into health care, veterans’ services, the aerospace sector, and more. A culture of secrecy has taken hold in Ottawa. When will the Prime Minister step in and stop this abuse of power?”
