Government Operations committee  McKinsey has done no opioid sales and marketing in Canada.

Government Operations committee  I don't know, but as I alluded to, at any given time, McKinsey has 4,000 to 4,500 client teams working. Does that translate to 4,000 to 4,500 contracts? No, I can't say that, but that's roughly the scale of our firm.

Government Operations committee  That would be fair to say, yes.

Government Operations committee  None.

Government Operations committee  None.

Government Operations committee  As I alluded to, McKinsey has global expertise on a variety of issues that I think are quite important as the government tries to execute its ambitious and complex agenda. I think the government could benefit from the access to that expertise.

Government Operations committee  I think there are probably two significant challenges among many. The list could be long. I'm going to focus on two. The first one is this rapid evolution of technology. The private sector, as everyone appreciates—be it banks, insurance companies, retailers, consumer packaged goods companies or energy companies—is rapidly evolving technology.

Government Operations committee  No.

Government Operations committee  As I stated previously, McKinsey takes its obligation to adhere to the rules very seriously. I also wanted to clarify about the record—

Government Operations committee  McKinsey has exited Russia. We exited a year ago. We have no activities whatsoever in Russia.

Government Operations committee  Mr. Chair, I'd like to clarify this, because my interpretation of the press release was that it said two things. The first was that there was no political involvement in the selection of McKinsey for contracts. The second was that the rules were not followed. It was not clear who was or was not following the rules.

Government Operations committee  That's correct.

Government Operations committee  Again, Mr. Chair, I lead the Canadian practice. The bulk of my time is in Canada.

Government Operations committee  What I am saying is that I know we have operations in China, and I know the vast majority of our work in China is for multinational corporations.

Government Operations committee  I am not familiar.
