A whistleblower who sounded the alarm about mismanagement and conflict of interest at a federal green fund says nearly $150 million in taxpayer dollars were improperly given to private companies, some with direct links to the fund’s top leadership.

The whistleblower, a former employee of Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), testified before the House of Commons industry committee on Dec. 11.
