Mr. Chair, McKinsey follows all procurement processes when responding to inquiries for the Government of Canada. With respect to that specific message I don't know the details, but I do know it was mentioned before. I have gone back and we have taken a look. My understanding is this: There was a meeting in 2020 around the time of COVID. McKinsey was interacting with many organizations, governments and businesses about some of the factors we were seeing around how COVID played out in terms of economic scenarios.
