The Department of Education Services says there is no evidence of misconduct and an educator at Layman E. Scott Senior High School is back on the job; in related news theRoyal Cayman Islands Police Service says they have arrested a woman who initially posted the allegations on social media; and Cayman's Auditor General is raising fresh red flags about how government entities manage money and award contracts.

The Auditor-General has released its annual report on questionable spending by schools - and some stand out more than the rest. Sutton Park School spent $11,000 on a staff planning meeting at Sky City, Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Mangere spent $22,000 on a boat cruise, and Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Tonga o Hokianga spent $6,000 on a trip to Turkey for the principal with 'No clear business purpose.' The Ministry of Education says that over 2400 schools were audited and only a handful were 'commented on' by the auditor-general. Education Minister Erica Stanford blamed the previous government, saying that, 'It wasn't particularly fit for purpose and it didn't have good guard rails to prevent exactly what's happened.'

Opposition leader, Chris Hipkins spoke to Morning Report; Qantas has announced it will launch two new routes out of Auckland in 2026, with flights to Samoa and the Gold Coast; The Auditor General's Office has audited 2400 schools and found some are acting outside the law, hiring too many teachers and don't have receipts or records to show how public money is being spent; Paramount has launched a hostile bid for Warner Brothers, in an attempt to outbid Netflix, and create a media powerhouse; Dark comedy "One Battle After Another," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has topped the list of Hollywood's Golden Globe awards, receiving nine nominations.

The Auditor General's Office has audited 2-thousand-400 schools and found some are acting outside the law, hiring too many teachers and don't have receipts or records to show how public money is being spent. They found some principals spent professional development funds on personal perks like gym and golf memberships, pilates, dental care and adventure tourism. There were particular concerns about travel, including koru memberships, premium flights and companion travel. Ingrid Hipkiss spoke to the Office's Sector Manager for Schools, Jane Rogers, and asked about the scale of the problem.

Auditors are calling out schools for questionable spending on overseas trips and travel. The Auditor-General's latest report flagged concerns with more than 170 school boards last year, many involving how principals used coaching and wellbeing funds. Around a third were tied to travel. Sector Manager for Schools, Jane Rogers told Heather du Plessis-Allan some boards allowed personal travel to be added onto work trips. She says spending public money has to have a justifiable purpose, so they wouldn't expect it to be spent on personal travel. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your reaction to a scathing Ontario Auditor General report suggesting government spent an unprecedented amount on advertising with questionable value to taxpayers.

This week on Open Sources Guelph things are not going according to plan. From Queen's Park to Parliament Hill, our provincial and federal governments are missing the goal posts and are facing some rather harsh scrutiny. And speaking of scrutiny, we will talk to one of our city councillors about making the tough decisions that you probably didn't like about next year's city budget. This Thursday, December 4, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Pipeline Dreams. Last week (after deadline we might add), Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith signed a deal that, theoretically, will see a pipeline built from the tar sands to the Pacific coast. So good news, right? Depending on your point of view. B.C. Premier David Eby registered his outrage about being cut out, First Nations want the deal torn up, and Smith, for some reason, was booed by her own party members. Is the pipeline deal dead before the ink is dry? The King of Wasteful Spending. The Auditor General of Ontario released her annual report this week and... yikes! Focusing on healthcare, the report says - among other things - that OHIP is letting physicians overbill in the extreme, that the effort to expand the number of family doctors is desperately falling short, that there's no discernible plan for the expansion of med schools, and that a billion dollars in PPE's been written off after being allowed to expire. So what now? Dual of the Caton. Guelph city council approved the 2026 budget last week, which is technically the mayor's budget but they still get a say. There were two stories out of that budget, one was the nearly eight per cent likely increase for the year, and the second was the decision to not plow bike lanes this winter. Ward 1 City Councillor Erin Caton will join us now that they are on the other side to talk about making the tough calls and whether this is a budget they can run on. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Shelley Spence, Ontario's auditor general, published a narrowly tailored report on health-care spending in the province. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss why OHIP overbilling, COVID personal protective equipment, and primary care connections are highlighted. Ontario has introduced a number of proposed legislative changes aimed at justice and crime. Steve and John Michael discuss how change to the bail system might be unconstitutional, and how dogs and cats fit into story. Education minister Paul Calandra has finally released the province's EQAO scores, and he's not happy with the results. He's creating a two-person team to investigate the test. Steve and JMM discuss how much that will cost to do and how there might be some pitfalls in store for the minister.

While the province claims that Ontario students aren't meeting educational standards, the local public school board asserts that students are showing consistent growth. A wanted 37-year-old man is in custody after trying to cross the border. Chatham-Kent police have charged a 36-year-old man with theft after he was reportedly caught with stolen items. The Tim Hortons' Holiday Smile Cookie campaign raised just under $20K for Chatham Goodfellows. The Auditor General is slamming the province for actions taken without considering Ontario's Environmental Bill of Rights.

In September, the Auditor General released a detailed report exposing major gaps in transparency surrounding the 2024 salary increases for public officers. While many civil servants finally received overdue raises after more than 20 years without an adjustment, the report also revealed that members of the House of Assembly selected the highest salary range for themselves, increasing their total compensation by 119% without full disclosure to the public or Cabinet.This episode breaks down the facts in plain language: What PwC recommended, what Cabinet approved, what was hidden from financial briefs, and why the Auditor General flagged “incomplete financial information.” We also examine the government's official response, calls for transparency from Hon. Myron Walwyn, and rising public pressure for accountability.
