Opposition MPs are requesting a House of Commons committee meeting to examine the large increase in government contracts being awarded to the U.S. consulting firm McKinsey since the Trudeau Liberals took power in 2015.

“In the past seven years, McKinsey & Company has garnered $66 million in federal contracts, representing a 30-fold increase from the previous government according to media reporting,” reads a letter signed by all the opposition members on the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates and sent on Jan. 13 to Conservative MP Kelly McCauley, the committee’s chair.
