Where did the eight million dollars go when the Province closed OCOT almost four years ago ? that money came from Trades Workers annual OCOT membership dues. The legislation stated that to be allowed to work in Ontario as a certified trades worker the membership must be paid or there will be actions taken.

Missing Eight Million Dollars !
When our Province closed OCOT almost four years ago there was eight million dollars in the bank account (it was on the OCOT annual report).
The money came from Trades Workers annual membership fees, from the pocket, Not tax dollars.
Like wheres the money that should go back to OCOT Members.
Geee we are missing huge dollars, where it go Doug ?

It took the Province almost four years to apply a bandaid that will cost taxpayers massive dollars. A four person panel has taken nine months with stage one of a Mickey Mouse plan that is a very poor replacement for OCOT, all Skilled Trades used to have a voice through input to Trades Boards with OCOT, we have lost massive Democracy. Doug Ford will soon lose office and another political party can mothball Skilled Trades Ontario as right now the timing smells of a election tool. Like really four years Doug to wake up !
