Poilievre says Tories will seek committee probe into McKinsey consulting contracts
Now, Poilievre says the House of Commons government operations and estimates committee should launch a study into the tens of millions of dollars reportedly awarded to the firm.

Since coming to office in 2015, however, Trudeau’s government reportedly gave $66 million in contracts to the firm.
More than $24 million of this money, the report added, dealt with contracts related to the immigration department.Pierre Poilievre calls out Trudeau over contracts awarded to global consulting firm McKinsey Poilievre also expressed concerns about the potential influence of the firm, and Trudeau’s decision to appoint former McKinsey director Dominic Barton as his ambassador to China for just over two years, ending in 2021.
