So here we have a situation where there are two accelerators connected to Annette Verschuren and these accelerators get to hand-pick projects to be considered for seed funding, funding that is approved by the SDTC board, the board that Ms. Verschuren was the chair of. It turns out that eligible expenses under the seed funding stream include the very services that these accelerators provide for a fee. That was the finding of the Ethics Commissioner in his report with respect to the Verschuren Centre.
How was that allowed to happen?
