I'm informed by my deputy that all of these contracting rules were appropriately followed. The bank, as an independent Crown corporation, sets its own contracting practices.
Again, my understanding is that those rules were followed as would be appropriate, but the CEO, Ehren Cory, would be the best person to review those particular contracting issues as well.
I know that the CIB has provided the Chair with written documentation on these matters to the House of Commons. I think on March 29, at a different committee, a senior partner from McKinsey also appeared.
I will endeavour to ensure that the bank provides all of this information, because I share, Mr. Strahl, your understandable concern with respect to these practices.
