Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
If the Minister of Immigration could exert pressure on the Minister of National Defence to get her to change her mind, it would be appreciated. I'm making an official request here.
Now, I'd like to ask him a brief question.
Minister, I'm not necessarily saying that this happened in Canada, but I'd like to tell you about one of McKinsey's practices. It was mentioned in a report by the French Senate. It's the foot-in-the-door technique. McKinsey did unpaid work for the government, in order to then have easier access to contracts.
I'm not saying that this happened in your department, but, generally, do you believe it's an acceptable practice, be it here or abroad?
