Millionaire ArriveCan supplier Kristian Firth yesterday named names of federal managers he met over meals and drinks to discuss lucrative contracts. Firth’s disclosures followed his summons to the bar of the House as the first federal contactor in 111 years to be cited for contempt of Parliament. Firth said his company GC Strategies Inc. of Woodlawn, Ont. “could have been stopped” at any time as it billed $19.1 million for the ArriveCan project.

“We did as we were told,” said Firth. “We invoiced monthly. At any time we could have been stopped. This wasn’t that we were given $20 million and then walked away and built an app. This was not our app. We were paid to recruit and find resources who built the app.”
