Canadian Government Executive Leadership Series
May 2, 2023 — All day
The House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates has been studying the outsourcing of government contracts to private consulting firms.
About the event
A study by Carleton University has revealed that the federal government spent at least $22 billion on outsourcing in 2021-22. McKinsey and Company got a lot of the attention, as federal government contracts with this company have grown since the Liberals formed government in 2015, but many consulting companies are in a similar situation. We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Amanda Clarke, associate professor at Carleton University and expert on government contracts, and Mr. Michael Wernick, former Clerk of the Privy Council, to speak to this very important issue and the implications for the role of the public service.
