flag Ontario's Labour Minister David Piccini faces calls to resign after a scandal involving $2.5B in questionable grants awarded with political influence.

flag Ontario Labour Minister David Piccini faces growing public and political pressure over the $2.5 billion Skills Development Fund, with a new poll showing 52% of Ontarians believe he should resign. flag An auditor general’s report found the fund’s approval process lacked transparency and fairness, with political staff overriding non-partisan recommendations, including awarding $126 million to projects backed by lobbyists. flag Critics highlight connections between grant recipients and party donors, including Piccini’s wife, who lobbied for institutions that received funding. flag Despite Premier Doug Ford’s continued support, opposition parties demand accountability, and calls for a forensic audit have intensified.
