Ontario’s secrecy around paying consultants make corruption possible. Any effort to determine how much the Ontario government spends on IT consulting is stymied by how this spending is reported.
We were all robbed by Sanjay Madan, a former senior manager in the Ontario Public Service,The bulk of the money Madan stole — some $36 million — came by way of kickbacks he received for contracting for IT consultants with companies both real and fake.
The government holds its information on IT consulting close. For instance, AMAPCEO, the union which I serve as president, had to go to court to seek a judicial review on a routine freedom of information request related to IT consulting. Today, all these contracts are listed in an online database that anyone may access. And it is not just Ottawa that does these disclosures. Numerous provinces have similar policies and procedures in place.
To be clear, even acknowledging these difficulties, the federal disclosure system remains incredibly valuable. A fact underlined lately by the ability of interested parties to find out how much money the federal government has been directing to global management consultancies.
