Federal committee will probe contracts with other consulting firms, not just McKinsey

Federal committee will probe contracts with other consulting firms, not just McKinseyOTTAWA — A parliamentary committee probing federal contracts awarded to McKinsey & Company will now look into other consulting firms' relationships with Ottawa. New Democrat MP Gord Johns brought forward a motion to expand the scope of the study and MPs on the committee unanimously approved it on Monday. Amanda Clarke, an associate professor of public administration at Carleton University, said at a committee meeting last month that the study should focus on the public service's reliance on consulting firms overall.
