Quebec’s former top public servant has denied being informed in September 2022 that the online platform for the auto insurance board was more than $200 million over budget.

Yves Ouellet, former secretary-general of the executive council, testified Wednesday at a public inquiry examining how the online portal known as SAAQclic incurred more than $500 million in cost overruns.
