The province’s auditor general confirmed Wednesday that he will be reviewing Alberta’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Auditor General Doug Wylie said he has received inquiries from the public as well as from MLAs. “As it involves a significant investment by the Government of Alberta, and has had a significant impact on the lives of all Albertans, it is something we will examine,” Wylie said.
In a statement, Wylie said his review will focus on accountability for “what was spent and program outcomes, value for investments made and on lessons learned by government for responding to similar crises in future.” [ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter for the latest coronavirus updates ] Some trends emerging as areas of interest include
