Company embroiled in skills fund controversy received Ontario cash last month during audit

The company at the centre of a political storm related to Ontario’s Skills Development Fund says it was still receiving money from the program last month, even while the province subjected it to a forensic audit that the government has since forwarded to the OPP.

In an interview with The Globe and Mail, Jay Fischbach, the chief operating officer of Keel Digital Solutions, the company in question, said it has been receiving payments of about $240,000 a month, including in October, from the Skills Development Fund.
