Conservative MPs make request to investigate government’s relationship with McKinsey in a letter to Auditor-General Karen Hogan, a move supported by the NDP and Bloc Québécois

in the category of professional and special services increased by more than 40 per cent since the Liberals formed government in 2015, reaching $11.8-billion in the previous fiscal year. The Liberal Party’s 2015 platform promised to cut back on the use of external consultants.

The company said in a statement this week that Mr. McNair was not involved in the awarding of any McKinsey contracts during his time in government. “Is the government getting good value for money with the skyrocketing spending on contractor work? Are taxpayers interests being served by this spending?”

“The inefficiency of the government’s spending is costing a fortune,” he said. “The federal government really should be able to pay their employees and operate effectively without needing to spend taxpayers’ dollars on expensive consulting firms. So I guess the question is: What’s going on here and why can’t they manage their own affairs?”

When asked to respond to the opposition’s concerns, Isabella Brisson, a spokesperson for Ms. Fortier, said in an e-mail that the government is committed to providing high-quality services to Canadians while ensuring best value for taxpayers, “which is why contracts are issued in a fair way in accordance with Treasury Board policies.”

“As an outsider, and someone who will compete for government contracts [on behalf of the university], I do think there are some policy and operation files where the current capacity of the public service may not be deemed sufficient to bring about timely change. The policy review can explore this balance.”
