Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for a committee study of the government’s relationship with a consulting firm following reports it has been awarded 30 times more money in federal contracts under Justin Trudeau’s Liberals than Stephen Harper’s Conservatives.
As previously reported by Radio-Canada and The Globe and Mail, McKinsey and Company made $2.2 million from federal contracts over the nine years Harper’s Conservatives were in power, compared to $66 million in six years under the Trudeau Liberals.
Radio-Canada is also reporting the government department that has awarded the largest contracts to McKinsey is Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. Blanchet said he’s particularly concerned about the lack of transparency in this case, and the risk of incurring added costs by hiring a private company to potentially do the work of the public service.
