Ontario auditor general set to probe effectiveness of highway plans

Ontario’s auditor general will release a slate of reports on Wednesday probing topics from COVID-19 to climate change.

The report is set to investigate contracts handed out by the province to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as how fair, equitable and cost-effective the province’s historic vaccination campaign was.

As the Ford government forges ahead with plans to build two new highways, auditor general Bonnie Lysyk will assess “efforts to alleviate traffic constraints and to accommodate forecasted population and economic growth by investing in new highway projects.”
