Border Services President Says Deleted ArriveCan Emails Have Been Recovered

Hundreds of deleted emails related to the ArriveCan app have been recovered days after the head of the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) said there were no backup files available.
“We trust this clarifies any potential misinterpretation,” CBSA President Erin O’Gorman wrote to the House of Commons government operations committee, as first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter.
O’Gorman said the agency had been able to recover 1,806 pages of emails from Minh Doan, a former CBSA chief information officer.
Doan previously told MPs that he had accidentally deleted around 1,700 emails from his laptop when attempting to transfer files from his old computer to a new one in 2023. The emails concerned the awarding of sole-sourced contracts to ArriveCan app contractors.
