Government contracts with consulting firms in the spotlight; UN refugee chief Filippo Grandi on how Canada can help the world’s displaced; and a joint Enquête-The Fifth Estate investigation
1:14:30
A House of Commons committee is probing the federal government’s decisions to grant multimillion-dollar contracts to the consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Matt Galloway talks to Amanda Clarke, an associate professor of public administration at Carleton University; and Michael Forsythe, an investigative reporter with the New York Times and author of When Mckinsey Comes to Town: The Hidden Influence of the World's Most Powerful Consulting Firm.
Then, we talk to the UN's High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi about the war in Ukraine, the question of talking to the Taliban, and how political polarization has made his job and the lives of refugees harder.
And a new investigation by Radio-Canada’s Enquête, in partnership with CBC’s The Fifth Estate, explores allegations that Quebec billionaire Robert G. Miller paid minors for sexual favours — allegations that Miller denies. We talk to Enquête’s Brigitte Noël.
