Federal employees spent more than 134,000 hours working on ArriveCan, even though the government spent over $59 million on private contractors to develop the app, according to parliamentary documents.
The information was released by the government on March 18 following a request by Conservative MP Andrew Scheer, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter. Mr. Scheer asked in an order paper the number of federal employees who worked on ArriveCan and about how much time they spent on the application.
