Opponents take aim at Legault

The political opponents of Coalition Avenir Quebec Leader François Legault took aim at him Friday after it was revealed his government awarded a major American consulting firm $35,000 a day for strategies on managing the pandemic. Legault said McKinsey & Company advised the government on practices from around the world as Quebec faced a pandemic for the first time in a century. The advice from the company “saved lives,” the CAQ leader said. A Radio-Canada investigation published Friday revealed McKinsey billed the Quebec government $6.6 million.
