Federal public health authorities awarded $52 million in sole-source contracts under emergency powers to private security companies to help enforce its COVID-19 quarantine orders, data provided by Procurement Canada reveals.
The four private contractors selected by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) ended up making 590,000 compliance verification visits from Jan. 29, 2021 to Sept. 15, 2022, according to spokesperson Tammy Jarbeau.
Out of those, 123,114 referrals were subsequently made to law enforcement for follow-up.
In total, PHAC says police made 146,878 in-person visits related to quarantine enforcement from March 2020 to Sept. 15, 2022.
Data posted on the PHAC website indicates that 18,562 fines were issued for non-compliance with the Quarantine Act, for reasons such as refusing to go to a designated quarantine facility (8,162), breaching quarantine (547), and refusing testing on arrival (1,273).
Fines for quarantine offences range between $825 and $5,000.
PHAC announced its private contractor program in January 2021 to help enforce the mandatory 14-day quarantine for travellers entering Canada.
At that time the vaccination campaign was just under way, hence the measure did not apply only to unvaccinated individuals as had been the case in recent months.
PHAC awarded contracts to the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires, G4S Secure Solutions, Garda, and Paladin Risk Solutions.
The contracts spanned from Jan. 14, 2021, to September 30, 2022.
Paladin was awarded $167 million, Garda $15,9 million, the Commissionaires $10,5 million, and G4S $8,9 million.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is billing the taxpayer roughly $500 per year for a product he has infamously referred to as a “drink box water bottle sorta thing.” ...
The five-member Trudeau family was found to rack up a taxpayer-funded grocery budget of approximately $55,000 per year — or roughly $28 per Trudeau, per day.
That’s not all that different from the grocery budget accumulated by Trudeau’s predecessor. During his nine years in office, Conservative leader Stephen Harper’s annual family grocery budget averaged out to around $52,218.
What the Harpers’ grocery budget didn’t include, however, were regular bulk shipments of Flow boxed water.
The expense disclosures included three deliveries of the packaged water over the last 24 months, working out to a total of $1,084.16.
In 2019, Trudeau went viral for a video clip in which he struggled to describe boxed water to a reporter.
The forum was a June 2019 press conference in which Trudeau was announcing his government’s plans to ban single-use plastics.
When a reporter asked the prime minister how he was personally trying to reduce plastic waste, Trudeau replied that his family had switched from drinking water out of plastic bottles to drinking it out of a “drink box water bottle sorta thing.”
Or, as he said in the full quote, “we have recently switched to drinking water bottles out of, water out of, when we have water bottles, out of a plastic – sorry, away from plastic towards paper, um, drink box water bottle sorta things.”

Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez says he had no idea his department paid $133,822 to an anti-Semite who fantasized on Twitter about shooting Jews. Rodriguez testified at the Commons heritage committee he was also unaware department staff spent weeks reviewing complaints over the funding: “Are you telling us then all of this took place in your ministry without you being aware of it?”

The Department of Veterans Affairs ought to be ashamed of itself for making ex-military wait years to review disability benefit claims, the Commons public accounts committee was told. Auditors said two-year waits are commonplace with some claims spending a decade under review: “Do you not have some shame?”
