It was made during COVID to make re-entry into the country easier. Included things like quarantine instructions, etc. etc. etc.
Now it's being used as a pre-entry customs and declaration tool to fill out information before you arrive to Canada, and allows you to take an "express line" through customs - I have a few Canadian friends that go down south every winter and they have mentioned it really doesn't speed things up as there's still a bottleneck that each passenger getting off the plane needs to complete - although maybe things have changed recently.
This is the tip of the iceberg of the massive increase in the Trudeau government's spending, and without oversight.
There was a 2-person company that was found to have been paid $20 million of that $60 million and did no work.
NOTE: the $60 million price tag is only an ESTIMATE as the accounting was so poorly done, the person put in charge to investigate couldn't actually determine how much was spent due to how badly records were kept; which should be default assumed as purposefully done to hide money trails.
This Trudeau government has also refused to share with Canadians where exactly the additional $600 million went, which state-funded media companies receive the funds and how much each - on top of the $1.4 billion that CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) Received last year - up $200 million from the standard $1.2 billion, for the next 3 years.
The Trudeau-Liberals forms a coalition with the NDP which gave them a defacto majority government + Liberals claim something like Canadians knowing what media-propagandists received how much state-funding media would be a security threat or something like that, so using a certain clause in bad faith to hide who's being rewarded for toeing their line.
And isn't it interesting how you're parroting the $2.2 billion amount, which was simply an estimate or guess (or propaganda) of how much that could balloon to; unless you have an updated source that's not speculation from 2018?
And how much of the responsibility should IBM hold for this failure?
Also, I wonder, do you know who in the government actually executed on the policy - even if it a bill was passed by the Conservatives? Was it unelected and unionized government workers who are tasked with it, and was it them who are more responsible or the politicians more responsible? Do you know where I can find that breakdown or are arguments going to stay fairly shallow rather than going deep to investigate where responsibility actually lies, rather than you seeming to try whataboutism that simply reinforces the "lesser of two evils" dichotomy that we've been forced to vote for.
You are in fact the one who made it left vs. right debate, I was referencing specifically the Trudeau government - not any political party, in part because the Liberals and NDP parties are not what they were more than 8 years ago. I was simply mentioning who was responsible for implementing and oversight of ArriveCan.
And no, it should be the corrupt vs. everyone. Being rich-successful doesn't equate to causing harm to society nor being a bad actor, of course the bad actors will use that #EatTheRich propaganda to rile up an ideological mob to further divide and conquer and misdirect the mob at everyone wealthy-successful rather than being nuanced and precise in their targeting.
60 million is pennies for government spending. 2 billion is not.
So calling out that the mega rich and mega powerful are the enemies of the world, further divides us? I think their greed alright divided us. Just talking about isn’t going to widen the gap.
You don't seem to actually care about the full picture. $60 million isn't the full picture, and the $2.2 billion isn't the full picture from the past - that is an estimate number, so how about you first see the total spending of Trudeau's Liberals and also find out if that $2.2 billion estimate predicted in 2018 for Phoenix system overages by 2023 is actually what happened?

How does this happen in a democracy? They say “nah, not gonna tell you” and everyone accepts it? No way to force them to disclose?

The estimations are on the conservative end too, a google search will show that its damage is more.
Our government sucks and has sucked for a long time.
And no, it should be the corrupt vs. everyone.

Also, relax.
Also, ad hominem - I'm relaxed.
