For the sake of clarity, I would certainly dispute that McKinsey is making policy decisions on behalf of the government. That is not a fact.
For what it's worth, you framed your question as “why would I, as minister”. We're dealing with two contracts that were awarded internally by the department, before my appointment to this position.
In any event, this is an ordinary exercise where the department was seeking to grow its capacity to offer digital services. We're in the midst of a major digital transformation within IRCC that I do believe will end up with a better product for IRCC's clients, who are people seeking to be reunited with families or coming to seek opportunities.
I do believe the movement to a digital transformation within our system is the right one.
