Lumen Technologies hires Sean Alexander as head of Connected Ecosystems
Investing.com -- According to The Canadian Press, the Quebec government is entangled in a controversy that could potentially be the biggest political scandal in the province since the Charbonneau commission, which uncovered widespread corruption in the construction industry.
The controversy revolves around the digital transformation of Quebec’s auto insurance board, a project that has been plagued by cost overruns totaling half a billion dollars. The issue has been at the forefront of Quebec news ever since the auditor general published a critical report nearly two weeks ago. The fallout from the report has already led to the resignation of a minister in the province’s Coalition Avenir Québec government.
Premier François Legault announced on Sunday that a public inquiry will be launched to investigate the matter. This decision comes in the wake of numerous news reports suggesting that members of his government were aware of issues with the new online platform before its problematic launch.
