Recall that the one who piloted the digital turn of the Quebec Automobile Insurance Company (SAAQ) attempted, but without success, to escape “a narrative does not correspond the obligation to meet the commissioner Gallant and investigators. Therefore, Mr. Malenfant preferred that everything was public, several media reported last week.

In a long publication on the LinkedIn social network, published Tuesday before the closed -door meeting, Mr. Malenfant talks about the entry of the game of “Fiasco Saaqclic” as an alleged story, “fueled by the political class”.

Putting the table with a five -page long declaration. the former IT boss of the SAAQ denounces in particular “the personal insults” which arise towards him. Note that it has been criticized. pointed out by several former colleagues, since the start of the work of the public commission responsible for shedding light on the SAAQCLIC scandal, which cost taxpayers $ 1.1 billion, at least $ 500 million more than expected.

Second refusal

In his missive. he said that he had first been “relieved” that Prime Minister François Legault announces the creation “a narrative does not correspond of a public inquiry committee.

“I said to myself candidly that the history of the digital transformation of the SAAQ could be explained to the general public. that the biased report of the VGQ would be dismissed,” says Malenfant.

Now. “by carefully following the commission’s audiences, I found that we built a narrative that did not correspond to the reality of Saaq history”, he regrets.

The one that many see as the architect of the Fiasco Saaqclic then laments that the Gallant Commission refused him the status of participant. who would have allowed him to oppose witnesses.

He argues that obtaining this status would also have allowed him to “rectify” the story of the events surrounding Saaqclic.
