Trudeau’s $840 million spending spree has led to hidden deals, wasted money, and useless improvements

At some point over the past decade in Canada, McKinsey & Company became the North Star for how to fix things in Ottawa. The management consulting company has been called in to help digitize the Canadian navy, create a ten-year plan for a government-owned bank, modernize leadership at our border services agency, provide an international view on transforming our immigration department, and much more.

Civil servants who have had to work with these management consultants disagree. “No one calls in McKinsey because they don’t have staff or capacity,” one former civil servant told me. “That comes from senior leadership or the Prime Minister’s Office.”
