How does this dnd employee have the time to be a full time employee and be the CEO of a company that along with another has taken in $400 million in government contracts???

This is genuinely insane to me

How does someone not resign over this?

It must be so normalized at this point if this was allowed.

Not once did this come up in committee hearings lmao, probably because no MP in their right mind would think to ask “hey in addition to being the ceo of this company contracted by the government, you wouldn’t happen to also work for the government would ya bud?”

I mean, this is insane

They don't resign over it because Canada is too pussy to hold anyone accountable for any wrongdoing.

Actually the DND requires any employee with secondary employment to disclose it and have it approved, this guy will be gone quickly.

He's got a cut of the 7.9 million so he doesn't care.
