The House of Commons Government Operations and Estimates Committee is set to meet today to discuss launching a study into the federal government’s contracts with the consulting firm McKinsey and Company.
This comes after reports emerged there was a surge in McKinsey’s federal contract earnings under the Liberals compared to under Stephen Harper’s Conservative government.
According to a statement from Procurement Minister Helena Jaczek’s office, of the contracts granted by the Liberals, three of them, valued at $55.8 million, were “awarded through open, competitive solicitations,” versus 18 contracts, valued at $45.6 million, were “call-ups against a National Master Standing Offer designed to provide access to proprietary benchmarking methodologies offered by the private sector.
McKinsey said in a statement last week the company follows procurement laws and its work with the Canadian government is “entirely non-partisan in nature and focuses on core management topics, such as digitization and operations improvement.”
