The federal government paid the consulting firm to deliver the main pandemic loan program for businesses, according to documents obtained under access-to-information law

at least $61-million to deliver the main pandemic loan program for businesses, according to details that Ottawa has never publicly released and that were obtained under access-to-information law.

Responsibility for CEBA was handed to Export Development Canada, a Crown corporation whose main role is helping Canadian businesses finance deals abroad. A breakdown of how much Accenture charged per duty was redacted by EDC under an exemption for protecting the confidential information of third parties.

EDC said it outsourced the delivery of CEBA because the program fell outside its core expertise as an export credit agency. Accenture executives have occasionally praised the government’s delivery of CEBA, without disclosing that the firm had been paid to administer it.
