About the federal contracting fraud tip line

The tip line is jointly operated by the Competition Bureau, Public Services and Procurement Canada, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The information provided by phone or online will be shared among these three organizations.

We will review all information provided, and we will take action where appropriate. However, it may not always be possible to act on the information immediately. If you choose to provide your contact information, we may contact you to clarify statements or ask for additional information. However, those who provide information will not receive any feedback or update on the status of their tip.
