Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to the minister and the officials.
Minister, thank you very much for all the work you're doing in helping us navigate through some challenging times.
Minister, I'm going to ask questions, many of which you've already addressed in your opening remarks, but consider this an opportunity to expand, to clarify and to solidify your responses for the record one more time.
Minister, why, in your opinion, was McKinsey hired prior to your assuming this role? What role was it playing for the department?
