McKinsey contracts with Ottawa to be probed by House of Commons committee
On Wednesday, members of the government operations committee voted unanimously to launch a study, with plans to ask several cabinet ministers to testify.
The committee will review contracts awarded to the firm since 2011, meaning it will include those signed by the former Conservative government.Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called for the parliamentary inquiry earlier this week and said the public needs to know what the money was used for and what influence McKinsey has had on the government.
MPs plan to ask McKinsey’s most senior Canadian executive to testify, along with Dominic Barton, its former global managing director. The Liberal government’s relationship with Barton has come under scrutiny in the midst of questions about the extent of the firm’s influence on public policy.
