Mr. Speaker, it has been confirmed that the government broke the rules by giving preferential treatment to their Liberal friends at McKinsey & Company. The procurement ombudsman has found that the government did, in fact, favour McKinsey, a firm that has received over $100 million of government contracts. The government even changed the eligibility requirements to make sure that McKinsey was selected. The Prime Minister's friend, Dominic Barton, then CEO of McKinsey, recommended the creation of the $35-billion Canada Infrastructure Bank. It then awarded $1.5 million in contracts to McKinsey. While the Prime Minister rewards his Liberal friends with cushy consulting jobs, Canadians are faced with out-of-control rents and mortgages; they are choosing between eating and heating their homes. This Liberal government is not worth the cost and not worth the corruption. Conservatives will end the corruption and fire high-priced consultants.

Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General also found that the CBSA advised KPMG, a multinational consulting firm, that it would be a subcontractor under Mr. Firth's two-person middleman company. At committee, the deputy auditor general confirmed this would allow Mr. Firth and GC Strategies to take an additional 20% cut of the contract, despite not even doing the work to get KPMG as a subcontractor. How many times have public servants provided him with subcontractors?
