Overview
- Doug Ford’s chief of staff directed political offices to have no contact with Get A-Head, Keel Mind or Keel Digital Solutions after the police referral.
- A 2023 routine audit triggered a comprehensive forensic review, and the government says it sent the results to the OPP within 24 hours of receiving them last week.
- The OPP has not commented publicly on the referral, and the premier’s office declined to provide further details.
- Keel says it fully cooperated, disputes the auditors’ interpretation, and says it was not told of any referral, adding it will cooperate if police open a probe.
- Government records show about $32.74 million from Colleges and Universities, $1.85 million from Health, and $7.5 million in Skills Development Fund grants were paid to the company as the Auditor‑General criticized the fund’s grant process and opposition parties pressed for accountability.
