Quebec 's auto insurance board botched rollout of its new online platform, SAAQclic , in February 2023 .

Quebec 's auditor general revealed cost overruns of at least $500 million in the creation of the platform, for a total cost of more than $1.1 billion .

Premier François Legault announced he will launch a public inquiry to shed light on the affair.

Critics say it could be the biggest political scandal in Quebec since the Charbonneau commission, which found deep corruption in the construction industry.

Québec solidaire member Haroun Bouazzi said the SAAQclic debacle is just one example of a systemic problem in Quebec .

He pointed to other cases of IT projects whose costs have ballooned, including one launched by the former Liberal government to modernize the human resources system for government employees.

“You have to spend $1 million a day for two years to actually get there. It's insane. It’s insane”.
