It's certainly pertinent, and with the greatest respect to Mr. McKinnon, for whom I have a lot of respect, he said that this is just one big “slander”.
I'm reviewing some of the facts, including the fact that there were 186 conflicts involving board members, including instances in which board members left the room. The board then voted to funnel money into their company, and then they came back into the room. Someone else left the room, and then the board voted to funnel money into that member's company. On and on it went, 186 times, rinse and repeat. We had a chair of the board who funnelled money into her own company and moved the motion to funnel money into her own company.
There were also all the violations of the SDTC act, including $38.5 million in illegal COVID relief payments, as well as tens of millions of dollars that went out the door improperly, contravening the contribution agreement with ISED and violating the SDTC act. Indeed, the Auditor General found that $59 million went to ineligible projects.
