“The Government of Canada is pursuing its efforts to investigate and deter fraudulent billing by subcontractors,” said the November 7 note Fraudulent Billing. It did not elaborate.
“All companies from the cases disclosed have been asked to repay,” wrote managers. “Discussions with the companies are ongoing.”
