This gets to Timun's past points. We have this X post that Firebot is all onboard the "Liberals calling the report fiction" train, when the actual issue with the statement is not that at all, but is actually the "should have cost" amount given by Scheer. There is still issues with the single sourced contracts and deleted emails, but now we have the Cons creating a "scandal" out of their own lieing fiction exaggeration.

Liberals have been raising point of orders and fillbustering throughout the committee time looking to squash any statements they vehemently disagree with or makes them look bad and waste as much time as possible. If they were interested in resolving this they would be openly working to get to the bottom of the corruption instead of continuously blocking the investigation. Again, a reminder that the Liberals voted against the audit of ArriveCAN contracts.
The Liberal MP did not state what the point of order from what Scheer stated was about (considering his point of order was right after the auditor general's number), and your interpretation is pure conjecture.
Whether a flub, or just out of Liberal habit, nothing that Scheer stated is out of line and it is not fiction that it initially would have cost 80K and that the auditor general found 60 million in spending. Those are both facts, not fiction. Fiction is the Liberal MP's word.
In its end state and upgrades, would the app cost 80K after revision? Most certainly not.
Is it a good soundbite to state that an 80K app turned into 60 million? Most certainly is.
Is it causing the usual suspects to get all contorted out of shape and scrambling to defend Liberals yet again against 'Conservative Propaganda'™ in vain attempts to correct me and others, scrambling to find something, anything that can use to discredit a portion of a statement, when their attention and energy could be put on the actual government linked corruption aspect instead? You betcha!
