MPs want to know how a mobile app’s costs grew out of control. An abandoned house on an Ontario First Nation is an important stop in the search for answers
The house at 55 Vimy Ridge Rd., a 90-minute drive northeast of Toronto in the Alderville First Nation, has seen better days. The wooden front steps are broken, a basketball-sized wasp nest hangs from its roof, and debris – gas cans, a fridge, furniture and rusting metal – litters the backyard.
Passersby would never guess that the property is connected to a business that has received more than $100-million in federal spending. In corporate records, the home is the registered address for David Yeo, a former soldier who is now an entrepreneur and the founder of Dalian Enterprises Inc., one of the companies at the centre of a growing controversy over government contracting related to the ArriveCan mobile app.
