At least four other federal departments and agencies have ongoing contracts with Morneau Shepell, the human resources firm formerly run by Finance Minister Bill Morneau.

The accumulated value of these various contracts is about $14 million.

A spokesperson from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) confirmed that it has eight different contracts with Morneau Shepell, with a total value of $2.3 million. The largest contracts are for employee assistance programs, providing benefits and workplace perks for CRA workers in Quebec, the Prairie Region and at CRA headquarters in Ottawa.

The dates on these contracts range from before Morneau became a cabinet minister, to as recently as June 2017.

The Sun has also learned that the Senate of Canada uses the services of Morneau Shepell, in a contract that was re-signed on Aug. 23, 2017.
