EXCLUSIVE: Taxpayers fund consultants, not care in Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program
Endless bureaucracy and costly administration took precedence over the very Canadians the ‘safe and effective’ vaccines were meant to protect.
Newly obtained government documents further reveal a troubling reality behind Canada's Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP), the federal initiative touted as a safety net for those harmed by Health Canada-approved vaccines.
Intended to deliver "fair and timely" financial support to those suffering serious and permanent injuries, VISP has instead become a labyrinth of delays, red tape, and unchecked spending. It prioritizes administrative empires over the Canadians it was meant to serve, with next to no mechanism for accountability or oversight.
Launched amid the push for widespread vaccination with the mRNA platform that had never before been used on the totality of the population, the VISP program has since functioned more as a stalling tactic than a lifeline.
Victims are left to navigate mounds of paperwork, sift through gatekeepers, and their fate is ultimately left to a discretionary medical review board, often left in limbo.
Documents accessed through freedom-of-information requests put the program's administrative excesses on full display. Administered by Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton (RCGT, now Oxaro) under a five-year contribution agreement — not a contract — the setup alone cost over $5 million in the 2021-2022 fiscal year.
This included salaries for employees, consultants, analysts, coordinators, an "engagement partner," and contractors such as physicians, specialists, translators, and lawyers, plus cloud-based software services. Somehow, the firm lacked scalable systems despite the multimillion-dollar award.
Yet, discrepancies around the total budget abound.
One page lists a total agreement of nearly $7.9 million, while parliamentary responses cite figures millions lower in some years, and higher in others. Amendments added hundreds of thousands more to the original budget stipulations, all with minimal oversight. Another page from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) document pegs the operating budget at $8.2 million.
Unlike contracts demanding deliverables and accountability, this “contribution agreement” funding is basically a blank cheque — requiring only self-reported progress toward vague goals.
Buried in advisory services are expenses for furniture, including IKEA pickups, deliveries, and desk assembly — billing taxpayers for hours while injured Canadians were left sidelined.
Project managers logged billable time for emails, huddles, pitch notes, and lunches, one instance tallying 7.5 hours.
Advisory from Parks Canada appears inexplicably, alongside hours for unnamed staff, including "as per Marco" and a few hours here and there for vacation work.
By August 2021, VISP had ballooned with full- and part-time roles including intake specialists, claims experts, business consultants, privacy officers, and more. There’s also a reference to an internal audit, but conveniently, that’s redacted.
Most shockingly, the documents confirm cashflow records detailing millions approved in year one, but zero paid to victims.
A PHAC review noted 94% of advance payments were exhausted by October — again, with none to claimants. Despite this, PHAC went ahead and rubberstamped a scheduled $1.4 million installment, deeming the program "medium risk" and citing no concerns.
This echoes a prior investigation showing that VISP consultants said the initial $19 million annual funding didn’t “correspond to program needs.” That exclusive investigation also revealed that it took two years to launch the program, postponing claims assessments until the third year of a five-year agreement.
The decision was signed off by officials, including Mark Bacalan and Stéphanie Parisien — who was later promoted to Director of Suicide Prevention — amid reports that case managers were steering desperate claimants toward state-sanctioned euthanasia called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID).
While party leaders at the time — Justin Trudeau, Erin O'Toole, Jagmeet Singh, Yves-François Blanchet, and Annamie Paul — united in 2021 to promote these touted as "safe and effective" vaccines, declaring "we're all in this together," injured Canadians were faced with gaslighting and neglect.
This seems more like a taxpayer-funded fiasco than support, shrouded in redactions and doublespeak, leaving victims maimed by a coerced civic duty.

Spencer Fernando wrote an article today titled
“Jason Kenney Deserves Credit For Admitting Errors, Attempting To Protect Constitutional Rights Amid Crisis”.
You all should read this and hang your heads in shame.
Erin O’Toole will know what AO stands for as he was in the armed forces.
Most of you politicians and civil servants cannot see past your toes which means that your
Area of Operation is being totally neglected.
This becomes quite obvious when you read Fernando’s article because Kenny is only a very small number and I mean a very small number who had the guts to apologize for destroying our economy with bad decisions.
In the beginning when it became obvious that the nursing homes were experiencing an unusually high death rate due to the virus and then the soldiers confirmed that these homes were poorly operated what the hell did you politicians do to correct this horrible situation? Absolutely nothing and for this, every one of you should be held responsible and put in jail.
You all were responsible for this slaughter along with the news media, with the exception of the independent media, failed to report on this story. Why?? Of course, we know why they were being paid off by the Liberal Party and Trudeau even bragged about this.
Look at the stats for each province and you will find that most of the deaths are for seniors over the age of 80. Make sure you are getting the most up to date stats as I understand that Ontario might be involved in some form of cover-up.
We are killing our economy by shutting down small businesses which is the backbone that provides employment and keeps our country prospering and alive. What kind of stupid politicians have we elected that do not understand that they are fully responsible for their “Area of Operation”? The real bad ones are Ford, Pallister, and Tory who are using the police to do their dirty work.
Churches are getting shut down, restaurants are being targeted, but the big box stores like Costco and Walmart stay alive by serving their thousands of customers without being hassled.
These stupid politicians go around shouting shut down these small businesses as they are responsible for all these people dying, stay at home and wear face masks while you are making love. Meantime we seniors are dying at such a rapid rate that by next year the virus will slowly disappear because there will be no one left over the age of 80. What excuse will you good people use to keep us slaves hostage?
Have a Merry Christmas and remember during the holidays you must stay at home and enjoy your Christmas dinner virtually over zoom with your loved ones.
That means no cheating like flying home first-class or sneaking away to your comfortable cottage on the lake.
We are all watching with great anticipation as to what outstanding move you all are going to make on this chessboard called Canada.
You had better do it in slow motion because at the rate things are going Canada will not be around much longer. -

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-10-29 19:13:45 -0400I suspect this delaying tactic was designed to make people give up in frustration. And those who die from the MRNA concoction solve the Liberal government’s problem of pesky claimants. Our government at work, eh?
