Ottawa’s consultant class is now hiring consultants to advise consultants

Subhead:Millions of dollars of taxpayer funds continue to be funnelled into the pockets of consultants despite Carney's pledge to halt the spending.# A taxpayer-funded climate advocacy group embedded at Simon Fraser University is looking to hire outside consultants to help shape federal government policy on “clean electricity supply chains” because apparently Canada’s army of consultants still doesn’t include enough consultants. According to a procurement posting from MERX , Clean Energy Canada is seeking a consultant to “identify, prioritize, substantiate, and quantify compelling export opportunities for Canada along global clean electricity supply chains” between 2026 and 2035. The project calls for a consultant to: identify technologies and components for study, assess Canada’s electricity supply chains, quantify trade opportunities, and produce a final strategic report for policymakers. In other words: a consultant-funded think tank wants consultants to write reports for government officials already drowning in consultant reports. Clean Energy Canada itself has deep roots in the progressive environmental advocacy world. The organization was originally launched as a project of Tides Canada before embedding itself at Simon Fraser University in 2015 .
