McKinsey & Company advised the governments on Covid while also collecting money from Pfizer

A Radio-Canada investigation published Friday revealed McKinsey billed the Quebec government $6.6 million — or $35,000 a day — and played a key role in the Quebec government's pandemic response, conducting strategy meetings and advising the government on the purchase of personal protective equipment.

Earlier this year, the French Senate issued a report questioning the role played by consulting firms, including McKinsey, in the country's pandemic response and warning that the contracts created the possibility of conflicts of interest.

In April, French prosecutors opened an investigation into tax fraud allegations against McKinsey contained in the Senate report.

In the United States, McKinsey has faced a conflict-of-interest investigation in both houses of Congress because of its role advising health regulators while also working for opioid drugmakers on boosting sales of painkillers.
