This whole GC Strategies and other govt consulting firms are suspect. They don't provide services,they are there to win these contracts.
So with GC Strategies (originally 9 million but ballooned to 20 million). wrote the contract requirements for the government. Then submitted their bid. Once they won it, they hired contractors that directly billed the government. GC Strategies provided no work from a development or IT strategy side of things.
The contractors that were hired and billed the government weren't project managed by GC strategies, that was provided by the government project managers. So we literally paid a consulting firm to create a winning bid and spend a few hours lining up contractors that did a horrible job on this project.
And this is a constant thing with companies like this.
On top of that in the committee GC Strategies talked about going to prominent PS and Liberal homes during the bid process which is really questionable. This is Rolodex contracting where you become a favourite of a senior procurement manager and get sole source contracts.
Honestly the ministers that were in charge during this whole mess, which is Dominic LeBlanc and Anita Anaud need to be pulled in from of the committee to testify under oath.
