Thank you.

I want to clarify that Global Affairs Canada did not sign any contracts with McKinsey. However, we use consulting services and we sign contracts with consultants. That's part of our regular contracting activities.

Furthermore, as Ms. Carruthers indicated, we often use consultants to meet a need for expertise in very complicated and complex international fields.
