Department of National Defence’s contracts with consulting firm McKinsey & Company were under scrutiny on March 20, with Conservative MPs asking the minister if the firm should be advising on culture change given its own track record.

“How is having a company that works with Russia, that works with China—who are meeting today by the way—that has corporate retreats next to internment camps and outs dissidents of dictatorship regimes, produce recommendations positive for a culture that you’re responsible for?” asked Conservative MP Stephanie Kusie during a meeting of the Commons government operations committee.
