    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Last year, a Radio-Canada investigation found that the amount of money McKinsey & Company earns from federal contracts exploded after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came to power.

    Her audit also found that in 10 of 28 competitive contracts  — which were worth $13.7 million — there was insufficient documentation to properly support awarding them to McKinsey & Company.

    Hogan’s report evaluated that standing offer and determined it was "weak and did not demonstrate that McKinsey & Company would provide a unique service.

    In her press conference Tuesday, CBC asked Hogan if she thought there was a perceived conflict interest between the Liberal government and McKinsey related to the firm’s former managing director, Dominic Barton.

    “Federal contracting and procurement policies exist to ensure fairness, transparency and value for Canadians — but they only work if they are followed,” Hogan said in a statement.

    “We are committed to protecting the integrity of procurement and expect public servants in all departments to operate at the highest standard and prioritize value for money for all Canadians,” he said.
