As I testified at OGGO, where these questions came up, there are a couple of facts I'd like to share.
McKinsey's contracts with the federal government are less than 0.5% of the federal government's spend on consulting. That's point number one.
Point number two is that 74% of those contracts in question were awarded through a competitive RFP run by the public sector, scored independently and evaluated by the public sector on their evaluation criteria.
Three, by my own records as the lead of the Canadian practice, we lose 60% of the RFPs that we submit to the federal government, so if there is any question about the competitiveness of the process, I'm not sure that's relevant.
