flag Ontario’s $2.5B Skills Fund faced scrutiny for lack of transparency, with many low-rated projects funded without clear justification.

flag An October 1, 2025, auditor general report found Ontario’s $2.5-billion Skills Development Fund lacked transparency and fairness, with over half of funded projects rated low or medium by evaluators yet still receiving $742 million. flag The labour minister’s office selected 388 projects totaling $479 million without documented justification, and 64 funded projects hired registered lobbyists. flag The report raised concerns about preferential treatment, though no direct links to political donors were confirmed. flag The government says it’s implementing recommendations, including better tracking and updated criteria, while defending the program’s impact on over 700,000 people.
