Eight people have been arrested for allegedly accepting bribes for commercial driver examinations in Kingston and the Greater Toronto Area, said the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). The investigation into fraudulent commercial driver exams was prompted last January at the request of the Ministry of Transportation, they said. An audit is in progress for Ontario's large commercial truck driver licensing procedures, said Shelley Spence, auditor general of Ontario, in an emailed statement. It'll examine the province's system to deliver training, examinations and licensing programs for commercial truck drivers, she said, adding she plans to release the audit's findings "within the year." The Ministry of Transportation referred the issue to OPP after conducting their own investigation, said ministry spokesperson Dakota Brasier.
