A government audit by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) has revealed that a $39 million federal grant program designed to support women apprentices in male-dominated trades was exploited by men who self-identified as female to qualify for doubled grant amounts. The program approved applications solely based on the apprentice's self-identification as female, leading to complaints of unfairness. This misuse of funds has drawn criticism and highlighted vulnerabilities in the program's verification process. The findings were publicly reported in June 2025, prompting discussions about the integrity and administration of gender-based funding initiatives in the trades sector.
