No evidence of political interference in McKinsey contracts: Treasury Board report
OTTAWA — The Treasury Board says it has found no evidence of political interference in federal contracts with consulting firm McKinsey & Company.
Treasury Board President Mona Fortier and Procurement Minister Helena Jaczek were tasked with reviewing contracts awarded to McKinsey after media reports detailed the rapid growth in their value since the Liberals came to power in 2015. The final report today says departmental audits found no evidence of political interference or that the integrity of the procurement process was not maintained.
But the audits did find some administrative requirements and procedures were not consistently followed, which reaffirms preliminary findings published in March.That represents a small fraction of contracts with consulting firms.
