Okay, thank you.

There was another time McKinsey was used and I'm looking for an explanation.

When Ms. Hudon, the former ambassador of Canada to France, was appointed president of the Business Development Bank of Canada, the first decision she made was to award a $4.9-million contract to McKinsey. Why was that the first thing she did? We found out that her team, including the vice-presidents, were not very happy with the decision.

Who told Ms. Hudon to do business with McKinsey? Why was McKinsey awarded that $4.9-million contract directly?

See context to find out what was said next.
