Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sent a letter to the RCMP commissioner Tuesday asking the Mounties to investigate the government's COVID-era ArriveCan app, a pandemic program that's been marred by controversy.

Amid troubling allegations about the conduct of some employees at the Canada Border Service Agency , the RCMP was called in last year to review the conduct of "certain employees and contractors" working with the agency, according to the auditor general.

Last week, he accused Trudeau of mismanaging and politicizing the RCMP when speaking about crime in some of Canada's big cities."We will get the RCMP back to fighting organized crime and protecting Canadians against extortion, assassinations, car jackings, human trafficking and all the other crimes that have raged out of control over the last eight years," Poilievre said. "We will fix the RCMP.

The auditor general found GC Strategies, a private IT staffing company, was involved in developing the requirements that were later used for a competitive contract related to the ArriveCan app — a contract the firm later won. "There were also severe violations of the CBSA Code of Conduct, including failure to disclose whisky tastings and extravagant dinners paid for by lobbyists and private interests."

At the press conference where she announced her findings Monday, Hogan confirmed there were "emails, invites" for "an online whisky tasting."
