“I am not a friend” of Trudeau, ex-McKinsey head Dominic Barton says amid contract probe

- Dominic Barton, a former ambassador and past director of consulting firm McKinsey, said on Wednesday he had no involvement in federal government contracts awarded to the firm in recent years and denied having any close relationship with the prime minister or other key Liberal cabinet members.
Barton was grilled by the House of Commons government operations and estimates committee that is studying the 24 contracts worth $104.6 million that federal officials say have been awarded to McKinsey since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government was elected in 2015.
Barton pushed back on MPs' suggestions that he is a personal friend of Trudeau or other top ministers like Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and former finance minister Bill Morneau, who was with Barton on the growth council.
“No, I’m not a friend, and I have a professional relationship,” he told the committee. “I respect him, I think he respects me, I don’t have his personal phone number and I haven’t been in a room alone with him.”

Wait,,,,didn't freeloader just go on national TV and say that her and the PM have Dominic on speed dial.???
They’re all strangers when it hits the fan…
Nope don’t know the guy! Haha
Oh please. He knew exactly who Justin Trudeau is.
Keep the pressure on!!!
The Aga Khan wasn’t a friend either. SMH
Well, I'm glad nothing was done unlawfully.
Hey, who makes these laws again?
Oh, you almost got me fooled.
I forgot that the same people who break the rules design the laws to accommodate them and their buddies.
and when they break the law they change them . trudeau has changed , amended or reworded more criminal code violations than any prime minister in Canadian history
he may not be a personal friend of any of the elites in the liberal party.... but he sure might be very friendly to their parties finances. justin has a habitual habit of doing things like this.... WE comes eerily to mind.
@Glen Skurka -- didn't know conservatives hired Mckinney . but that's not the issue. did mckinney give canada any value when the conservatives hired them? b/c the issue today with impotent govt is that bureaucrats have said no value was provided for their consulting service. --- and conservatives gatekeepers? that term is more fitting for liberals under justin. not before justin.... chretien and martin were great not not dictator like as justin is.
@Glen Skurka -- his actions are dictator like. who forcefully removes peaceful protest. who seizes bank accounts of it's own citizens? attempts to edit what you see and read online? these are things you hear about on mainland china, or USSR or cuba. not here. these are actions never seen before in canada.
As soon as he said Davos he said it all.
Yep WEF needs to be stopped but nobody will ever do it
Its more than Davos . Starting with Pierre Trudeau , the Laurentian Elites developed a ton of investments in the country Justin admires the most . This continued with Chretien's trade missions . This is why Justin delayed making a decision about Hauwei , why he bought the TMX and is tripling its capacity , and why he kept the financial interference of 11 MP's quiet. Barton is one of the world's top trade negotiators , who Justin appointed to be Canada's " Ambassador " to China .
.
Some would say he is a typical McKinsey slime weasel.
If not a friend b4, he certainly is now, after receiving millions.
Criminal charges for the crime minister. Answers for the 2 billion embezzled recently! Justice for all those "passing" suddenly.
I was expecting him to say "I had dinner with him and that's all." Scoundrels all.
"I am not his friend, I just met him in Davos at the WEF when I was lobbying politicians for contracts." Funny how that happens.
Trudeau opened the door of the "hen house" and let the "weasels" in.....all the while Freeland was clucking......and pecking.......
"Never been alone in a room with him" Sir, nobody asked you that.
I don’t blame him , nobody want to admit they are friends of Trudope
Great questioning keep the pressure on Freeland said he was best buddies with her and Trudeau
Wasn't there a pic of them together smiling????
I see so many new conservative leaders actually working for us people. Pierre is going to be my PM.
Remember, 99% of politicians are absolutely corrupt -- and the other 1% are probably corrupt. Do not blindly trust any politician. Always hold their feet to the fire and make sure they live up to their word, and if they don't, hammer them for it.
Pierre for PMOC
Am not one to make allegations or assume much fast but this whole McKiknsey affair ''stinks'' of high level corruption and misuse of funds. Many funds. In the millions ! estimated 104 million ? for what is the question ? PR ? Policies formulation ?
Who could possibly be corrupted by HUGE sums of money?
He has the look of Vanderbilt Blood
I not A Crook I am a business Man
Just following the law! Written by God himself of course.
Can't be any shady dealings going on.
And it's not like the government has to reduce the population a little sometimes.

When he said DAVOS everybody knew him as a WEF puppet.
Wow. Mr. Barton won't even apologize for Canadian victims of the opiod crisis.
Right, and that's exactly how everything works.
You never admit to anything.
I finally understood that myself.
If ever you're accused of anything you get a lawyer.

I don’t believe him. It’s one big club and we ain’t in it.
In line with Carlin dark comedy!
Yup. We're not in it. But we're paying for it.
Did not Freeland said Mr. JT knew very well about Barton? Bring her in and ask her with the recording. LOL. Liars.
Welcome To TRU-DOPE-IA 🇨🇦
Are government contracts not supposed to go to tender? How does one firm win 24 contracts in 7 years ?

He says he has never been in a room with Trudeau and in his very next statement he contradicts his own statement
He said never in a room ALONE
Just like the inquiry judge is not a friend of Trudeau 🤣
Neoliberal enforcer corporations such as McKinsey needed to be reigned in by new policy, years ago. But instead, they were awarded new contracts.
I believe him when he says he's not friends. There's a psychological pattern of these people of wealth and power. The end goal is wealth and power, they're unlike the masses in that most people rate trust and sincerity as a priority when dealing with others; that's the foundation of all human relationships. There appears to be a predominance of sociopaths involved in the running of our businesses and institutions.
How do you attend a meeting like this, when you’re going to be on the grill, and NOT bring information that could safe your a$$!?
Because he's been briefed over and over by govt staff members and McKinsey on what to say and what not to say. It is all about to keep the image clean, but telling the real details, nah. I'm sure he's lowkey getting paid to be there.
Nothing was done unlawfully; guilty right there.
What a joke !!! What a lier !! How does this keep going on ?
cause yo mama did it ask yo mama
@@jumbome7420 yo mama understands???
Corruption likely
@@bobdanob5346 yo mama think so ????
Helping Selling opioids to own nation, that’s not enough to be treason, but that’s pretty close.
The guy saids didn’t realize and it’s not illegal, but as a multi million or billion dollar firm they didn’t have to stood that low.
Really when and where ?
Even the people Trudeau pays 10's of millions of dollars to, don't consider him a friend!
I believe there is a joke about a dog and a porkchop describing Justin
How can anyone say that they have been a room alone with him? He is so scared that he has arrested good people that have spoken to his nonsense. That he now has armed forces, when he goes potty. Justin is going to have to pay for his actions. Not just in the house of commons. He has spent more of the taxpayers money than he can repay.
And he promised to be more transparent and frugal than his predecessor.....remember in the 2015 leadership debate when when he said two years of modest deficits of 10 billion ..then a balanced budget..and oh yes....remember that criticism of previous prime minister's who assured us of a balanced budget...then said OOPS...implying they conjured up an excuse not to balance the budget. Where have we seen the OOPS....in the Trudeau admin......including calling the COVID pandemic a , "" POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY ". to spend and borrow money without transparency... to save Canadians...and of course..to implement the WE F AGENDA.
This makes Trudeau look so bad, Freeland booblehead said they were friends !! Embarrassing
I would say anything. If Trudeau gave me millions of Canadian taxpayers money.
Is this what slime looks like?
This guy is lying through his teeth!
Not a friend just a business associate.
I was just doing my job????? No consequences!
Testimony that conflicts other peoples testimony.
Nothing will ever change until we see every man as "me"
I'm not a friend either.
Tell me lies tell me sweet little lies 😂😂😂
A true J T Liberal!
Unfair rabid interrogation. Let...the...man...speak! Bad Question with obviously gigantic consequences : "Do you think Cdn's should be compensated as they were in the U.S.?" Answer : Ask our Legal team!" Obviously, he won't answer that. Yes Cdn's are upset over the Opioid Crisis! But...can you maintain a modicum of CIVILITY in the battery of questions?!?
He was asked for his opinion. Hard to feel bad for the guy who most likely had a hand in starting the Opiod Crisis.
Then being not a friend and an honorable businessman and to clear his companies unblemished record then he should open his mouth and give the Canadian people the answers we cannot get from the liberals. As a businessman being honest with the people would only serve to benefit his company in the future. You would not want to have the same reputation as bombardier or snc who names are connected with corruption.
Oh what a sad story...
Boy, someone sure is on the defensive.
The rats are scurring
Not a friend a business relationship
Crooks in suit's
It seems that Trudeau is in the situationship of unrequited love. His heart must be shuttered now.
“Didn’t know what he looked like” 🥹
round and round we go...
There is a the real mafia Don!
I call bull!😅😅😅😅😅
Lol! Another one part of the WEF
He's not my friend, l just take the money...
McKinsey advise any of the decriminalization of hard drugs including known date rape drugs in BC?
I met Justin Trudeau one and soon as the word money came up in the Millions I didn't even exist no more he said I was to middle class
Well that certainly doesn't help my opinion of rich buggers. "Nothing was done unlawfully" that caused thousands to die in misery.
Trudeau the tyrant has to go....
A distant, distant, relative. A lot closer, now
What a liar. These are best people we have to question this man?
Mickinsey the canadian shadow government
Its amazing how this guys make questions and if the response is not what they want to hear, they get pissed!! LOL
Title just for Trudeau trolls. The topic was McKinsey and the opioid settlement.
sounds like richard nixon's i'm not a crook
LOCK HIM UP
I DONT WANT TO PAY TO KEEP THEM ALIVE PUT THEM UP TO A WALL
I don't know I don't know I don't know now you know.
What a piece of work he's going to burn in hell. He knows nothing that they did was unlawful that's why they settled outside of court. Give me a break. On Judgement Day you're going to settle alright in hell
Dominic Barton isn't welcome anywhere.
Dude you are done !!!!
Barton is desperate. He sounds so nervous.
Bringing the producers, distributors and suppliers of street quality Opioid is one of the biggest Crises of our time. Stay on it, but be civilized through the process. Sheesh
2 liars Trudeau and Dominic Barton
WEF liars
Why can't we see all the comments?
Ya sure Dom, it was just business !!!
It is still a crime ,,,
Barton looks like a living skull.
Ask him when he first met Harper. That would be more relevant to understanding how he became an advisor to the government.
Was he an advisor to Harper as well? How much did Harper pay him?
@@thaneknight Harper brought Barton into government as an advisor to the Prime Minister's Advisory Committee on the Public Service. He was in that position when Trudeau became Prime Minister. Trudeau later appointed him to chair the Advisory Council on Economic Growth (referred to by Barton as the Growth Council), and still later as Ambassador to China. I believe that both the advisory positions he held were unpaid public service, but I may be wrong.

@@johnburns8660 Doesn't matter.The expense still needs to be accounted for. Why so much? It's really no different than being married and a huge expense occurred. You would want to know where the money went.
@@adrianhdragon718 There are millions, if not billions, more to look for as well.
“New Democrat MP Gord Johns is bringing forward a motion to expand the scope of the study to include other firms including Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Accenture, KPMG and Ernst & Young. …
“Amanda Clarke, an associate professor of public administration at Carleton University, said the study should focus on the public service’s reliance on consulting firms overall.
“’The focus on outsourcing and contracting in the federal government is the broad enough umbrella to get at these issues and any given firm,’ Clarke said.”

Does something smell bad AHHhhhh.
According to Little Boy Trudeau you are his best friend!!!!!!!! You can run but Little Boy Trudeau will find you. LMAO!!!!!!

Pierre Poilievre for Prime Minister 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
September 4, 2019
Ottawa, Ontario
" The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced the appointment of Dominic Barton as Canada’s Ambassador to China.
Mr. Barton chaired [ Bill Morneau 's ] Canada’s Advisory Council on Economic Growth. He has directly advised Canada’s Cabinet, and served as a member of the Advisory Committee on the Public Service, ...
From 2009 to 2018, Mr. Barton was the global managing partner at McKinsey, where he gained vast experience in international business and trade - including as head of their office in Korea and as chairman in Asia, based in Shanghai. "
.
Right so Barton does not describe himself as a friend of Justin Trudeau , but he is one of the world's top trade negotiators
selected by the Liberals to be Canada's "Ambassador " to China .
.
All weasles.
Why do you think 🤔 he is lieing to you again why these people got away with murder 🤔 do you think that they will ever tell you the truth 🤔
What a disgrace! Another example of their corruption and nothing being done even after they’ve been caught. Another scandal swept under the rug.
he was good
There 3 options for to win a governments contract ! Friendly ,👢 lickering or brown nosing !!! Pick one
Would you consider yourself as a friend of current Criminister 🤔?
Dominic Barton: No but I am his top donor which might 😏 be considered as his close friends 🤔.
Davos, enough said, Guilty and Corruption , Trudeau. Missing billions to u named companies .
Canada is finished 🇨🇦
U can tell he's lying its not easy to hide
This guy is the Co-founder of the Century Initiative which aims to "turbo-charge" (just like he did for Purdue Opioids sales ;/) Canadas population to 100 million by 2100 concentrating almost all of it in designated mega-regions like the GTA and GVA, which just happens to benefit his friends and especially wife who works at Blackrock that profits from real estate.
This lobby believes that immigrations will be the key to this goal ( actively undermining natural births) which just happens to be convenient for its board members, for example Murad Al-Katib CEO of AGT Foods that sells legumes that the majority of immigrants happen to consume.
In point, powerful people running the Canadian government from the shadows are not interested in increasing living standards and making live more affordable for Canadians and will engineer and manipulate this country for profit.
Enough with the clown show!! He is lying! They are all lying!!
Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha
Pierre Polievre Prime Minister.
