ICYMI - William Watson: At least McKinsey doesn’t go on strike
” on Ottawa’s “Open Government” website. As you would imagine, it wasn’t a flawless procedure. The resulting spreadsheet is a little chaotic, with columns wandering into each other. But I did manage to glean from the “OrgID” column that the orgID’s go from one to 561, which is a lot of org’s. No wonder they sometimes seem a little distracted in Ottawa.

The section of the accounts that reporters have been scouring lately is number iii: “professional and social services,” where the most-searched name in the last couple of weeks has been “McKinsey,” the consulting firm that has done a lot of work for the current federal government . The media are suffering McKinsey-derangement syndrome. Yes, if there were cozy deals because the prime minister and former McKinsey chairman and later our ambassador to China Dominic Barton are buddies — or because ambitious cabinet ministers knew they were buddies and wanted to get on the boss’s good side — then that needs to be looked into.
There might be entrenched interests I’d like to get around. I may not want to have to train up my existing bureaucrats to do what could turn out to be a one-time job. I may not want to have to hire new permanent people, pay them government wages with government benefits and indexed government pensions to do a job that an outside agency can do cheaper, better, faster and without anyone going on strike. McKinsey’s people may actually show up at my office, rather than insist on working from home.
