Auditor slams Alberta disaster recovery program overhaul
Alberta’s auditor general criticizes the switch to in-house disaster recovery, saying it overburdened the department during the 2013 southern floods and left gaps. The report notes hundreds of flood aid applicants faced delays, with calls for more project managers and stronger management practices to prevent future failures. Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark warns of potential loss of federal funds and ongoing delays.
