Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
It would take too long to present arguments or facts that don't fit Ms. O'Connell's statements at all, so I'll go elsewhere. I do, however, invite people to go and look at the minutes of the May 11, 2023, committee meeting, which may tell them more about McKinsey clients who may have benefited from Canada Infrastructure Bank investments.
Mr. Barton, in closing, I find it hard to believe in the randomness of McKinsey's presence at all stages of the process. So my question is going to focus on the issue of volunteerism at McKinsey.
There was a volunteer presence of McKinsey employees in support of the Advisory Council on Economic Growth when you were its chair. You said you were the chair in a personal capacity, not as McKinsey's director of global affairs. However, it was still people from McKinsey who supported the operation of the council and I'm still looking for a logical explanation for that.
When you make a staff or volunteer investment in an organization like this, I assume people have timesheets and the amounts are quantified. To take it a step further, I'd like to know if you'd be able to tell us how much it cost McKinsey. How many people were involved? What was the total value of this volunteer participation in the Advisory Council on Economic Growth?
