The House of Commons on Wednesday voted in favour of auditing the federal government’s $54 million spending on the ArriveCan app, which will include an investigation of all payments and contracts associated with creating and maintaining the app.

The performance audit motion, introduced by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on Nov. 1, passed the House 174–149 and found support from both the NDP and Bloc Québécois. The Liberals and Green Party voted against it.
