Ford says he will not fire Piccini as criticism of skills development fund mount

October 21, 2025

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is standing by his embattled Labour Minister David Piccini, as the government faces mounting accusations that its billion-dollar fund for training workers is being used to reward friends and donors.

Facing reporters at Queen’s Park on Tuesday, Mr. Ford for the first time said that he will not replace Mr. Piccini in the role.
