Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome back, Mr. Jeglic and colleague. It's good to have you back in the committee.
What I've heard so far is that our procurement process is quite complicated and outdated. The department goes around, at times, to make sure it gets the job it is trusted to do. I also heard there's no evidence of fraud. There's no evidence of criminal activities or political interference. There's no mention of the PM or Mr. Dominic Barton, which is good.
It comes down to this question: Why McKinsey?
The question I have is where my colleague Mr. Kusmierczyk started going: What does McKinsey do? I heard from Derek that it does technology and culture benchmarking activities. We then got into asking what “benchmarking activity” means. It means they look at where the department or organization is at. They look at best practices, figure out where the gap is and develop a road map.
If the Government of Canada is trying to develop a road map for updating its technology and changing the culture and processes, what type of organization should it reach out to at the outset to develop that road map?
