Obvious he’d now like some distance (a lot?) betwixt himself and Putz, now that the fecal fan is blowing.

So, Justin, what were your conversations with Dominic Barton as McKinney was setting up plans to pay pharmacists to prescribe overdoses of opioids?

Canadians need to follow the money on this one! Anyone surprised that Trudeau is in the middle of it?

Dominic Barton recommended the creation of the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB). The CIB's CEO is a former McKinsey exec & the bank is stacked with other McKinsey people; and we're supposed to believe McKinsey fairly received 4 contracts totaling $1.43M?

As usual Justin the scumbag doesn't answer even the most basic questions. Other than HG, is there anyone else left in Canada who will vote for this *bleep*-ball? Justin just sucks so much scum. Wow.

You have to feel some empathy toward civil servants who have obviously been threatened and intimidated to carry out the criminal works of the Trudeau government.

This constant spew of lies from the Liberals is getting overwhelming.

On Monday, the committee heard from Procurement Ombudsman Alexander Jeglic, who has been asked by Federal Procurement Minister Helena Jaczek to review federal contracts with McKinsey.

Mr. Jeglic said as part of his office’s regular review work, it has found issues with the awarding of two contracts to McKinsey, including one by the immigration department.

The watchdog said the department awarded a $1.6-million contract to McKinsey for a “service transformation strategy roadmap” after relying on criteria that “was overly restrictive and may have reduced competition.” Mr. Jeglic noted that the department received numerous comments from interested suppliers about the restrictions, but they were not changed and the process resulted in McKinsey being the only bidder and receiving a perfect score in a technical evaluation.

Asked about that finding Wednesday by the Conservatives, Mr. Fraser defended the government’s approach.

“It is not my view that the process was rigged somehow to select a particular outcome,” said Mr. Fraser.

The second contract raised by the ombudsman, for $452,000, was awarded in June, 2020, by the department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) for economic analysis services. Mr. Jeglic said the competition generated two bids. After McKinsey was ranked second, officials requested a re-evaluation.

“The response from one of the evaluators stated that he would be ‘happy to delete the financial evaluation e-mail.’” The original top ranked bidder was then deemed non-compliant for not meeting all mandatory criteria.

“The actions taken and ultimate results of this evaluation process leave ISED open to the perception that this contract was not awarded in a fair and transparent manner,” the ombudsman wrote in a report in December, 2022. The report did not name McKinsey at the time, but Mr. Jeglic told MPs this week that that section of the report was in reference to a contract awarded to the company.

Conservative MP Stephanie Kusie told The Globe and Mail that the issues raised by the ombudsman with the two McKinsey contracts show a broader review is warranted.

“I am confident that this is just a small tip of the iceberg of issues involved with the contracts issued to McKinsey,” she said.

And whadyaknow, Justin's close friend Dom Barton is caught BSing Parliament.

E-mails show McKinsey involvement in call with Barton while he was Canada’s ambassador to China


A McKinsey partner organized a workshop for the Canada Infrastructure Bank involving Dominic Barton while he was Canada’s ambassador to China, even though Mr. Barton told Parliament in February he had no contact with his former company during his brief time at Global Affairs.

An e-mail dated June 17, 2020, from McKinsey & Co. partner Zak Cutler to Annie Ropar, who was a CIB executive at the time, discusses setting up a June 23 call with Mr. Barton, who was in China, and the bank, a Crown corporation created in 2017 aimed at attracting private capital to invest in Canada.

“Dom’s calendar has been pretty tight, so looks like this is the only time we could get him. Given he’s by himself, we’re hoping to limit attendance to a few people,” Mr. Cutler wrote in the newly released e-mail. “It’s a bit delicate and don’t want to offend, but want to make sure Dom is able to speak freely.”

Mr. Barton faced repeated questions about the e-mail Thursday as he appeared again before a House of Commons committee to answer questions about the government’s ties to McKinsey, a global consulting firm that has received more than $100-million in federal contract work since the Liberals formed government in 2015.

At a February committee appearance, Mr. Barton had said he was under “extremely strict” rules while ambassador to ensure he was not involved with anything related to his former company.

“Basically, it was excommunicado,” he said then.

However, a July 2, 2020, document on McKinsey letterhead said: “We recently facilitated two working sessions with leading thinkers in Canadian infrastructure.” The letter said the second session was with Mr. Wiseman “and Dominic Barton, former Managing Director at McKinsey and now Canada’s Ambassador to China.”

Conservative MP Garnett Genuis told Mr. Barton on Thursday that his explanations were not plausible.

“With all due respect, you’re really expecting this committee to swallow quite a fudge,” he said.
