I understand you're asking if Canada is out of step in comparison to other countries.
I would say that Canada is doing pretty much the same thing that France has done. In terms of all other countries I know about or that are reported in the book that I showed earlier, Canada is doing exactly the same thing. If that is correct or isn't correct, I can't say, but they are doing exactly the same thing.
The recipe for McKinsey is to do the same all over, all the time, everywhere in the world, so they are doing the same thing in Canada as they have been doing for very many years. It's no different here from what it has been elsewhere. The French Senate said there can be such a thing as too much consulting, and there can be such a thing as too much consulting in Canada.
As an example, a journalist was talking to me the other day. He was saying that they asked McKinsey for consulting in the field of tourism. My colleague knows that in his university there's a school of tourism, and in my university there's a school of tourism, and there are God knows how many schools of tourism in Canada. Why do we ask McKinsey for consulting in the field of tourism? All they had to do was call those universities to ask for consulting, which would have cost a very small fraction of what they paid to McKinsey.
