Earlier I mentioned a contract awarded to McKinsey & Company that is open until 2100. It’s contract number EN537‑05IT01/233/EI‑001.
When you go on Buyandsell.gc.ca to see how much the contract is costing taxpayers, you just see zero dollars.
It’s great to take a long view of things. That is the goal of a government staff member. Nevertheless, the contract is for zero dollars.
Is this a problem?
If so, what can we do to make sure taxpayers know how much this contract is actually going to cost them in the end?
