Recent scrutiny has been directed towards McKinsey & Company regarding its contracts with the Government of Canada. Dominic Barton, former global head of McKinsey, began chairing Trudeau’s Economic Advisory Council in 2016. Since then, McKinsey has seen a 2500% increase in contracts with the government.

Auditors also encountered federal employees too frightened to disclose what they knew. Additionally, staffers flagged inflated costs and default risks for startup retailers, but these concerns were largely ignored by top officials under pressure to get financing flowing.
