LIBERAL $133M NUDGE & WINK TO QUEBEC COMPANY.

   AMD Medicom Inc., a company in Quebec, has been awarded a ten year contract with $133,486,868 in sole-sourced federal orders to manufacture PPE even though it didn’t have a factory in Canada.
   AMD Medicom Inc. was given the ten-year contract and some MPs are now demanding to see the terms of the contract.
“How many Canadian companies that we’ve contracted with have been given ten-year contracts similar to Medicom?”
“Medicom I think is the only ten-year contract I’m aware of,” replied Bill Matthews, deputy minister of public works.
   Medicom has since received a $4 million loan from the Government of Québec to build a new factory in Montréal and the contractor hired was SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.
  Neither Medicom nor its federal sponsors would say how many masks the Montréal factory has produced to date.
  Mitch Davies, senior assistant deputy minister of industry, testified at a June 5 committee hearing that staff picked Medicom as a supplier without notice to competitors.
