McKinsey, ArriveCan are just the tip of a rotten iceberg of government outsourcing

The federal government’s contracting practices made headline news again with Auditor-General Karen Hogan finding frequent rule violations in the $200-million in contracts awarded to consulting firm McKinsey & Company since 2011.

Ms. Hogan’s report went on to state that many of the contracts “did not demonstrate value for money.”

Sound familiar? The government is already battling months of bad press over the development of its much-criticized $54-million COVID-19 travel app, ArriveCan.

So many scandals you need a cheat sheet to keep up.
