Overview

• The report shows GCStrategies secured 106 federal contracts from 31 departments between 2015 and 2024, with a total value of $92.7 million and $64.5 million disbursed.
• In 46 percent of reviewed contracts, officials approved payments without evidence that the work was performed or proper timesheets had been collected.
• Half of the audited contracts lacked documented security clearances for subcontractors at the time of award and during ongoing work.
• Auditors found that one-third of contracts involved subcontractors without verified experience or qualifications to fulfil contract requirements.
• Public Services and Procurement Canada suspended GCStrategies from federal contracting for seven years and the RCMP and CBSA investigations into the company remain active.
