ArriveCan scandal: GC Strategies partner grilled in parliament as property raided by RCMP | FULL

GC Strategies partner Kristian Firth testified in the House of Commons on Wednesday that the RCMP had raided one of his properties, but said it was not related to the ArriveCan app.
Firth’s two-person Ottawa IT firm is the main contractor behind the controversial pandemic-era program.

He told the House of Commons during a rare interrogation from members of Parliament that the Mounties paid him a visit.

“There was a search warrant, not an arrest warrant, for my property to obtain electronic goods surrounding the Botler allegations,” Firth said in response to a question from Conservative MP Michael Barrett.

“The RCMP has only reached out to us regarding Botler.”

Botler AI – A Montreal-based tech company—had raised concerns about alleged misconduct in government contracting practices.

Firth was ordered to appear after being held in contempt of Parliament for refusing to answer questions to a parliamentary committee studying ArriveCan.
