Thank you, Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for being here today.

Minister, in an article published by the CBC on January 4, 2023, two public servants in your department came forward about the role McKinsey had been playing in policy decisions of the department. One source told the media that “McKinsey was an idea from the government. The policy was decided for civil servants. It causes a lot of operational instability”.

Why is your government and why are you, as minister, allowing a firm such as McKinsey to make policy decisions instead of public servants?
