'The Madan family exploited their positions of employment with Ontario and unique access to the (program) and payment processing system.'

Late Friday, the Ministry of the Attorney General said funds had “now been seized” pursuant to a judicial order and were being held by the court pending litigation of the province’s claims.

Du Vernet said his client “deeply regrets” his actions and was awaiting results of medical opinions on his condition.
