Audit flags issues with tracking Ontario pandemic pay program, other COVID costs

Published Wednesday, May 12, 2021 8:02PM EDT TORONTO - The Ontario government failed to properly track billions of dollars in COVID-19 relief funds, including for high-profile programs like pay increases for front-line workers, an audit of pandemic-related health spending has found. The report, tabled by Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk on Wednesday, looked at 26 spending programs authorized between March and June 2020. Among other things, the audit found departments of health, long-term care, and seniors and accessibility were unable to tell auditors when front-line workers received pandemic pay increases announced in late April 2020. Funds from that program, which was announced with the promise it would start distributing money to workers “immediately,” did not start flowing until mid-June, the audit found.
