Scathing AG report directed at (former Minister of Finance) Travis Toews on COVID19 spend. For example, on the topic of $1.3 billion from Ottawa: "We could not trace funds... to see who spent the money and what was achieved" #AbLeg

On "Safe Return to Class" funding, also scathing: "we could not identify how much was spent on individual initiatives, nor were results reported." Not sure many parents will find that comforting after a disastrous school year.
Albertans really should read the Auditor General's report, but to summarize: Travis Toews/TBF didn't really track $4 billion in spending, and the gov has no idea what was achieved (good or bad) for those billions. #ableg
Two most surprising things: (1) Toews is an accountant. Yet, he's had billions in accounting errors caught be the AG, and now 4 billion questions; (2) the AG already made recommendations to remedy potential problems identified today, they were ignored 🤦♂️
I'll end this tread with the obvious: not a good day for UCP leadership aspirant Toews. Kinda shredding the "competent" brand he's been trying to build.
