← Auditor General Committee February 12, 2026
Summary
- The committee endorsed all 21 recommendations from the 2025 Annual Whistleblower Report and recommended Council approve them.
- Investigations covered: failure to adequately manage a $6 million in-kind CAC delivery; a flawed and non-transparent Park Board mobile vending permit selection process; a sole-sourced planning contract for False Creek South that grew from $50,000 to over $900,000 without proper approvals; and a procurement conflict-of-interest allegation (unsubstantiated, but with process gaps noted).
- No fraud was found in any investigation; the Auditor General confirmed findings related to waste and serious mismanagement of public funds in some cases.
- The city had already implemented 82% of 2024 whistleblower recommendations, which the Auditor General described as a positive result.
- Moved by Councillor Zhou, seconded by Councillor Fry; carried unanimously.
