Doug Ford returns $29M Bombardier jet; NDP demands audit

On 2026-04-22, Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles formally asked Ontario Auditor General Shelley Spence to undertake a comprehensive audit and investigation into the Ontario government’s purchase and resale of a Bombardier executive jet. The request targeted Premier Doug Ford’s government amid controversy over the $28.9 million transaction. The jet return itself was reported the same day, but the clearest discrete political action in the cluster is the audit demand.
