Title: The Government's Decision: Who Hired GC Strategies After Requesting Them to Draft Their Own Contract?
Introduction:
In a democratic system, transparency, fairness, and accountability are fundamental principles that underpin the functioning of government. Conflicts of interest, in which personal or organizational interests may influence public decision-making, can erode public trust and jeopardize the integrity of governmental processes. The recent case involving the government hiring GC Strategies, a consulting firm, after requesting them to draft their own contract, raises concerns about a potential conflict of interest in government procurement practices. This article aims to shed light on the situation, explore the dynamics at play, and analyze the implications of such a scenario.
The Hiring Process and the Controversy:
Government contracts typically involve a deliberate and stringent procurement process to ensure impartiality and fairness. However, the situation in question arises from a peculiar circumstance where the government asked GC Strategies, a consulting firm, to draft their own contract. Consequently, the pressing question is: who within the government ultimately made the decision to hire them?
Potential Conflict of Interest:
The hiring of GC Strategies, following the government's request for them to draft their own contract, raises concerns regarding a potential conflict of interest. Conflicts of interest emerge when someone in a position of authority or decision-making authority has a personal, financial, or other vested interest that might compromise their duty to act impartially or in the best interest of the public. In this case, the government's decision-making process might be called into question, as there is a possibility that GC Strategies could have influenced the contract to favor their own interests.
Implications and Safeguards:
A conflict of interest within the public procurement process can have far-reaching implications, including misallocation of resources, compromised public trust, and reduced competition among potential vendors. To mitigate these risks, governments, especially at the highest levels, need to establish robust safeguards and procedural checks.
One of the most important measures against conflicts of interest is transparency. Governments should ensure that the decision-making process surrounding the appointment of contractors is open, accountable, and subject to scrutiny. Strong disclosure policies, conflict of interest guidelines, and codes of conduct should be in place to maintain credibility and public trust.
Additionally, effective oversight mechanisms, such as independent auditing bodies or ethics committees, must ensure compliance with established guidelines. These bodies should have the authority to investigate suspicions of conflicts of interest and, if necessary, impose appropriate penalties to deter such actions in the future.
Conclusion:
Maintaining the highest level of integrity in government decision-making processes is essential for a well-functioning democracy. The case of the government hiring GC Strategies after requesting them to draft their own contract raises valid concerns regarding a potential conflict of interest. To safeguard against such situations, governments should prioritize transparency, enforce ethical regulations, and establish independent oversight mechanisms. These measures will help bolster public confidence and ensure the fair and responsible use of public resources in the procurement process.

Khalid and Shannihan need more emails. Get going, Canada.
wonder what they are hiding %!$$
Khalid and Shannan must go who voted for them idiots
Just have revenue Canada pull their financial claims and check their bank account… they sure would do it to me no questions asked!
They got paid extra to be a part of committee to be annoying and disruptive. Constituents matter to them only around election; both have their pension secured and they know they wont be elected again. They don't need to.
How anyone is allowed to act so childish and ignorant into these committees is beyond comprehension. Multiple times she have made serious unfounded accusations and allegations against the chair of hearings that should disqualify her immediately from participating. Such an embarrassment to all Canadians and very unprofessional conduct that she shouldn’t even be allowed to hold such a critical position. Every time someone behaves in such a disgraceful disrespectful manner she be financially penalized no different then how sports coach’s are penalized and that way they might be more respectful to others.
The investigators are a total failure.
The rcmp are a disgrace.
I want every nickel of my taxes back…plus interest.
Thank you TGG 🙏
Right!?!
This is a total sham! Money doesn't just disappear, they're are financial records at banks showing which account the money was sent to and who controls those accounts.
This investigation just shows how wide the corruption is and how easy they can get away with it.
I can't help finding it some what peculiar that 2 people involved at a certain level in this are of British origin is it just me Mark Carney our old finance now doing work for Britain. I could go much deeper here but anything is possible in the present Global Political World.
@@dragonsnightmare6061 and GC who took 20% is Indigenous company and they subcontracted to another Indigenous company that also took 20% and is owned by them and they in turn subcontracted to another Indigenous company which took 20% and is owned by the second company.
Get that Kalid OUT of comitee 🤬🤬🤬😡
I knew kahilid was a problem when she arrived on the scene with Islamophobia bill…think it was 103.
Agree 💯
Out of the country would be fine with me
@@user-je6cy3pu3u👍🙏
Get her out of the government before she gets a pension
Thank-you so much for representing livid Taxpayers... Mr. Brock and Barrett....
Definitely the dream team
They should have to pay back all the money and they all should go to jail even her
Vote both Khalid and Shanahan out as they do not represent the majority of Canadians for full transparency! We see them wanting to cover-up for their corrupt government! Vote them out!! 🔥🔥🔥
They should be in jail
I think they should keep them they show us what the Liberals are all about
About time khalid was put in her place. Awesome job Chair!!!❤ John Williamson.
I am getting SO FREAKING SICK OF THESE FREAKING LIBERALS !! SO FREAKING SICK OF THEM! Like, who do they think they are!? It's the citizens money that is being wasted & we the citizens should be able to know exactly what freaking happened to OUR money! No matter what party you are representing! If you want people to respect you, you should be concerned about what is happening with their money! Which is OUR money!
Blame the RCMP, they have been paid off by the liberal crime syndicate.
I sure hope Khalid loses her seat next election. She is just awful. Shanahan is a close second.
nope, she’s going to be there forever my friend. One day she’ll have real power.
@@Oldwhiteguy Yeah a power vacuum cleaner in her new position.
Trudeau paid her to be annoying as she disrupted the questions being asked, she should be ashamed of herself for seeing the money being spent on these clowns that sucking up blood and sweats from tax payers money!
I know hey...who votes for these people!!!
Agree 💯
I’m in awe of the deep DEEP levels of corruption within this government!
That's a good chairman!!
Throw Khalid out of the committee for decorum nd censure her in the House so she cannot be put onany other committees
Cookoo
Bonuses???? Omg. AWFUL. Just unreal. Sickening to be honest.
Just how? How can they use our money as bonuses. When we are broke and struggling
Well cbc gets lots of money to fire people and give out bonuses!
Time to CLEAN HOUSE!!!
We need all their bank records. Every gov employee, every person involved in any way. I want the records of anyone who served them a cup of coffee
no amnest for all 338
Agreed
Yes
Thank you Brock Canada appreciate’s you
It's so painful listening to Kahlid
I feel sorry for her husband!
oh come on...did you miss the part where she said she is working hard for her constituents? comedy gold like that should be a joy to hear
Louis CK farting into a microphone for an hour straight would be funnier than that useless muz.
About time he put ms Khalid in her place
Bless you Mr BROCK.
That kookster should be removed for disrespecting the Chair.
Point of order. Point of order. Point of order.
Let’s interrupt interrupt interrupt valid question … dang I’ve already forgotten what I was going to type here F!!
@@nemesis851_ Point Of Horrors
Makes me fucking sick 😡
PROSICUTE immediately
Yes, we need real prosecutions!! So many need to stand trial!! 🔥
Freeze every account! And any account transactions to it?!?
Is there any legitimate reason why, as taxpayers and therefore stakeholders, that we should not expect anyone charged with administration of any part of our government to be fully capable of proper and professional bookkeeping? Seriously!
Someone involved there should never have their hands in the public purse!
They are Communists.
Especially since ALL of them received raises !!
@@Oldwhiteguy ....and a fat pension due to the 1 week delay of the next election.
Oh come on! It's only millions and millions of dollars 😅😅😅
Respected, Mr Brock! Thank you!
👉 MR. BROCK IS ASKING QUESTIONS WE WANT TO KNOW
Omg she is beyond annoying she needs to chill and stop covering for the fraudsters
Chair, you're great.
The Brockinator
Mister Speaker.
Yes Miss Khalid.
Why do people hate me?🤔
Miss Khalid, have you met you?
How much of that fund went directly into The Trudeau Foundation!! 🔥
I’ve never heard anything since the bord stepped down? That’s not a sign of guilt is it? Freeze there accounts!
Who the hell votes for Shanahan and Khalid??? C’mon!!!!!! What kind of people live in that riding? my gaaawwdddd
The worst kind.
Kahlid has resumed the role of POO queen.
I don’t think she ever abandoned it.
I think that the Librals are wasting time.
FANTASTIC. VIDEO. , VERY WELL DONE 👏 ✔️ SHAWN
Thank you kindly
The Lieberals moved that same motion in OGGO to handcuff the actions of the (Conservative) Chair.... gross abuse of process.
Pointed heads minions of KICKBACK KING CONTINUE TO INTERRUPT PROCEEDINGS
Well said, chair!
You better do some thing we are on the edge stop remove them now now - Yes Trudeau & Freeland always makes thing better for Quebec Trudeau has been showing he is a Quebec separatist has been for years time for him to be remove of his position unacceptable for other Provinces in Canada now special deal on carbon tax is a disgrace shameful Canadians are very tired of this we demand a solution now or we will walk in to Parliament and remove him
Remember that old tv commercial for how many licks does it take to get the tootsie pop center? The world may never know.
Good call!
Call in the RCMP……that way nothing will get exposed!
Do you trust the RCMP?
@@skatingfan7885 …..you missed the irony?
Khalid, seems power hungry. Loves wasting time to hear her voice talk in circles.
What a Gong Show.
But the gong is broken
Brock for priminister.. u fking rock buddy don't stop us working class Canadians are counting on you and are with u
Thank you for reporting this
Blessings 💜🌿
You know what else CBSA agents got caught doing. About 6 months ago at Toronto Pearson airport planes were coming in but no CBSA agents could be found so long lines started forming.
Well do you know where these border agents were? Why they were attending a full on drag Queen show within the airport and a guy that goes by the name Contrarian on Twitter/X had a confidential source out the video of these agents at the show and dancing and getting lap dances with and from the drag queens. We were paying their salaries to be there and we tax payers were billed for the show they got.
😮 Holy no wander all that Gold was stolen the old drag queen special was going on
Has Kristian Firth and Darren Anthony of GC Strategies arrested yet?
😂😂😂😂 you’re being sarcastic??
@@Oldwhiteguy Dead serious. Pay attention.
@@movcon2793calm down doofus , I’m on your side. Pay attention yourself.
kristian and darren are in china at trudy's cabin oh my bad chalet
@@Oldwhiteguy I will calm down when we get our Country back. I am a retired Veteran and understand Tyranny.
Look at the look on all the CBSA faces! If that doesn’t say it all!
I would like to have a contract with this government. P.S. I don't own a CHALET.
We need to start a pool on which liberal back bencher will take the blame. Exactly like who invited Jaspal to dinner??
Haha
The Buck stops with Trudy! Silver bracelets, orange jumpsuit ! He is going to love prison food !! Pampered
Little girl ! 😁🇨🇦
emails deleted .. liars, garbage talent, this is unacceptable clear the whole department top to bottom. loss of email is stealing when deleted !
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. These committee meetings are unbelievable!
These Liberals are not interested in justice and accountability. Seemed a little to concerned about the witnesses feelings.
I guess they can help dry his eyes with their raise in pay and he can blow his nose with his bonus.
Keep up the great work John Williamson.
Thank you Mr Barrett and Mr Brock alone with your team
Task failed successfully, this is the statement that justifies these crooks getting "performance pay" for their failures.
With pas of the lies, mismanagement and deletion of ( incriminating) documents they have the nerve to say that it may have been because of the stress of the plan-demic.. BS
😆😆😆 Emails disapeared but every IT expert in Ottawa can't do anything about it.... There is 635 IT firms and all are dumbfounded by Shared Services Canada (SSC) unqualified and overpayed data collectors !!!!! Taxpayer Money well spent !!!!
QUIT THANKING FOR THE EFFIN QUESTION
Lol it’s just protocol
No one will be held to account
Correct
Just threatre to keep the peasants busy while they do things in the background
@@TheWhiteAfghanalso correct
😮 more cover ups and more deleted emails and a. Shredder truck 🚛 at all locations 10:46
Lol STAT
Sounds like a big bad coverup by the Public Service. Who knows how much political interference and influence. The current and former Clerks of the Privy Council, as head of the Public Service, should be called to testify about the corruption and incompetence. It’s not like the contracting and procurement process was invented yesterday. Senior levels of the Public Service need to be fired. MP Khalid is an embarrassment.
It's Still The Party Of The Crown. We Are Now It's Subjects = Slaves The Crown Will Not Allow The Masses To Become Strong Rather Drive Them Into Submission
Keep up the great work this guys garage!
Sincere thanks for filtering what need to be seen durring the work day.
Your video descriptions, intro and references are second to none, you the man!
literally just settings in Exchange backend they are likely using O365 backend because "Canadian Government".
All of this data is recoverable.
It would be more effort to make this data unrecoverable then it would to recover it.
Moor is so smug with his smirk.
Khalid just loves the sound of her own voice.
😊1:37 the Cookoo clock is chirpin again
When corruption becomes the normal..It's mind boggling!!
Well said Barrett
Who hired government of Canada stradigies??? Whom aided and imbedded in copy right thefts 0:00
This is what the end of a country looks like😂.. when half the people in power are complete idiots😂 this is what happens when people who don't care about Canada get handed the position
@jaytencross2626. And a significant portion of the population are either corrupt or stupid.
Election interference and mass immigration are real problems. We have people entering Canada who don’t actually care about the country at all. They love the opportunity to take advantage of the programs and make some quick cash. This works great for Justolf.
Thing is, this is not even his idea, he is simply carrying on his father’s plan. This corrupt government needs to be thrown out now, we need to deport everyone who should not be here and we need to cut taxes and encourage investment.
He got rather defensive. Crossing his arms and everything!
He is a fantastic chairman! Way more patient than I could be.
😮17:56 the cell tower/ communication hyway has it all unless the ministry cyber attacked our Canadian security 17:56
time for LIBS/NDP to be liable for their actions
I don't know as I am not involved in anything that happens in the department other than being the head. Can't confirm anything or comment on anything that requires expertise. Basically i am just another empty suit but am in good company.
Exactly
I find it hysterical that the liberals questions are always about "how and what we have learned here, and what measures can we look at implementing so that this doesn't happen again?". Like cabinet ministerial positons just began yesterrday and we got a bunch of fresh out of university grads, in these positions.
My Tim Horton's app works fine.
That's who they needed to develop this app.
The Tims app was actually found to be extremely leaky when it came to securing personal information data.
@@HighwayMike Very likely it was leaky, that doesn't mean the Arrive Can App needed to be 60 million.
Why this committee drag this case for 10 years. Put charge on them and trow it in Prison.
I love committee meetings
You can email the liberals many many many times in a single day too. Help them understand
I love the chair's remarks!
I absolutely LOVE how the jumped on her comment. Exactly how these people need to be put in there place.
40:27 is Ms. Khalid even speaking one of the required official languages of parliament? i do not recognize that tone, nor language as French or English ....
This is why we cannot get answers because of the interruptions and unnecessary point of orders! These pointless objections disgust me.
I bet if they got some 13 year computer wiz that 13 year old would find deleted emails PDQ.
EXACTLY 💯 , YOUR RATE ON 👌
In a heartbeat!!
While you obviously deserve all basic human rights, I’ll never understand how government jobs get all the same + extra protections as normal jobs. You’re not working at Toys R Us, you’re running a country. Inability to answer questions or a lack of answers should be a directly fireable offence (just like in the real world).
It pains me to utilize this often progressive term, but it’s clear that the problems in our government are “systemic”. The Liberal party is simply exhibit A. The system is painstakingly clearly designed to protect government and its employees at the direct expense of citizens and our tax dollars.
That's So we'll put.
In my opinion,
They all act like they've been caught with their fingers in the cookie jar.
They should be taking this far more serious than they are showing. This isn't just Canadians but their families too, & they should be livid...
These people have all been given healthy bonuses to know nothing.
With the millions that can't be accounted for, then and their immediate families have no financial worries.
Mr Wilkinson( as chair) you have nerves of steel on how you handle interuptions, and non answers..
Thank you for a job well done.
Incompetence at every station, typical.
Incompetence, ignorance and corruption 😢
Mali’s should be fired without pension for the continued point of orders and shut down of committees
Goverment is like gc strategies
Criminal syndicate.
Shanahan needs to be held accountable to the fullest regard of the law jail for her
Geeezuz I still have my corporate emails from over 23 YEARS AGO … just in case I need them
I guess deleting emails it’s IMPORTANT if you need to hide your actions
Brock should have time added every time Kahlid or Shanahan interrupt to stall the proceedings, maybe that would shut them up! A child could recognize the rude interruptions!!!!
how could they not have found the emails by now... where is the backups !!no backup... fire them ALL and never contract any of the talent they used !!
Idc what they pass , legislate , what ever , all of these government employees need to go ! We all know someone with a lifetime career of doing nothing for big money , this is at the very best time of canada , dont bother coming to your own conclusions now ! Wait for PP to tell yas
I wonder how many hours a year are wasted on "errr, uhmmm, uhhhh's"
😅 should be 1000 dollar fine each time
This investigation, while worthwhile, completely evades the greater question of why this government was allowed to infringe upon Canadians' fundimental rights to freedom of movement.
That is even more egregious than the same malfeaants laundering our money away to fund it.
🙌🏽
Khalid should have been removed from the meeting.
nah, she's keeping it civil, but agreed the type of questioning gets pointed when the witnesses all claim they know little to nothing. Funny is their BONUS issued by something or someone they dont know? ill bet they are all too keen to make noise about that.. or do they wander about knowing little to nothing wondering where to address their concerns over their bonuses... lmao
