I mean, that's how almost all government stuff is done. People talk like ministers are handling the procurement process on their own, but it's virtually always civil servants actually doing it all. That said, the government is ultimately responsible for what happens while its in power, so if there's anything shady going on then they'll rightly get the blame for it.
And it does make sense why CBSA wouldn't have a list of subcontractors on hand; they dealt with a primary contractor to avoid having to find a bunch of subcontractors. At the same time, there's no reason the contractor shouldn't be able to provide who the subcontractors were with little difficulty either.
