Oh, I have no doubt that McKinsey is thoroughly qualified under a TSPS Solutions-based Supply Arrangement for Stream 2: Business consulting/change management services.
Do McKinsey and other consultants do anything useful?

Because it's critically important to ensure that your personal chauffeur joins your business trips....
Multimillion-dollar contracts awarded by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) to consulting firm McKinsey, coupled with some unusual spending choices — including a decision to fly a private chauffeur to B.C. to drive the Crown corporation's president around — are raising eyebrows within the BDC, sources say.
Current and former BDC employees say they're alarmed at some of the expenses incurred by the BDC under the leadership of president Isabelle Hudon.
Hudon, Canada's former ambassador to France, was appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government in 2021 to head the Crown corporation. The BDC provides loans, venture capital and advisory services to small and medium-sized businesses across Canada.

I seem to recall reading that Barton was telling anyone and everyone that he alone got the hostages released when it was actually the Biden Administration.
He is such a slimy, Beijing butt-snorkeling weasel. Only John McCallum looks worse.

Listened to the podcast. This is email I sent to Mansbridge.
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" - Dominic Barton
I was out walking and listening to your interview with Mr Barton. Boy that man sure put his media training to good use as he deflected from your questions to toot his and the consulting world's horn.
Diversity in Saudi Arabia? Give me a break! Feeling sorry about the victims of Purdue Pharma? I wanted to throw up! The dealings with Communist China (like the spa week near the Uyghurs concentration camps) Really? Non disclosure agreements on Government Consulting contracts? Why?
Mr Barton may be a nice man to talk to but his moral compass is wildly off the mark. Thank god we finally woke up to the danger of the Chinese Communist Party because this man and his very smart (but gawd awfully stupid at times) cohorts would have made Canada vassals of the CCP if they were still in charge.

As opposed to 'inside consultants'?
At Issue this week | The Liberals face mounting pressure over more than $100M spent on consulting contracts with McKinsey & Company as the opposition questions the relationship between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the firm's former head Dominic Barton. Plus, the tension between anti-Islamophobia representative Amira Elghawaby and Quebec politicians.
