A spokesperson for the independent agency confirmed to The Canadian Press on Friday that planning for the review is underway.
A parliamentary committee looking into the federal contracts awarded to McKinsey since 2011 voted earlier this month to also look into the government’s relationships with other consulting firms.
The firm’s work for the federal government has expanded rapidly since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government came to power in 2015.
According to data shared by Public Services and Procurement Canada, $116.8 million has been paid McKinsey since 2015.
Between March 2021 and the fall of 2022, the contracts totalled at least $62 million, according to a document recently tabled in the House of Commons in response to a question from a Conservative MP.
