Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Minister, and good afternoon to everyone.
As you know, Minister, we are studying expenses incurred for the period from 2011 to 2021. From 2011 to 2013, several hundreds of thousands of dollars were invested at McKinsey by the former Conservative government. In 2014 and 2015, no contracts were awarded to McKinsey & Company. On October 19, 2015, there was a new government, and there was a dramatic increase in the number of contracts awarded to that company.
Can you tell me, from memory, whether there were any guidelines from the Prime Minister's Office encouraging departments to do business with McKinsey & Company?
