Thank you.
Mr. Palter, respectfully, I think the company you work for is disgusting. I think your efforts to whitewash its conduct around the world aren't going to fool anybody who's familiar with McKinsey's track record.
These are issues we take very seriously as a committee.
You say McKinsey refuses work sometimes, presumably on the basis of some ethical criteria, but you are a company that literally held a corporate retreat down the road from a concentration camp in Kashgar, and then claimed unfamiliarity with the Uighur genocide, even though reports about it had been all over UN reports and all over the news prior to that.
Specifically, I want to ask you this. You claim that your work is guided by the Economist's democracy index. I'm skeptical about that claim. Can you tell us specifically which Russian state-owned companies McKinsey has worked for since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014?
Go ahead, please.
