Ford vows anyone who ‘mishandles’ government funds will be ‘held accountable’

On Monday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said that “anyone who wants to mishandle any funds coming from the government, they’re going to be audited and they’re going to be held accountable.” This comes after the Ford government forwarded a forensic audit of a company, Get A-Head, a business owned by Keel Digital Solutions, that received tens of millions of dollars in funding from the province, including through the controversial skills development fund, to provincial police after a probe of payments uncovered “irregularities.”
