This is the best summary I could come up with:

The man who oversaw the Westin Calgary Airport hotel’s time as a COVID-19 quarantine facility is being sued for allegedly misappropriating nearly $16 million in federal funds.

A new lawsuit claims that part-owner Sukhminder “Sukhi” Rai and his PHI Hospitality corporation kept money from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) that was supposed to pay for the hotel to house travellers for their mandatory quarantine periods from June 2020 until October 2022.

Financial documents from RBC, backed up by the affidavits, allege the missing money was funnelled to several entities related to Rai, withdrawn in cash or transferred to offshore accounts.

This is simply a business dispute about which parties are entitled to certain money, the amount of which has been admitted to be exaggerated in the court documents, and that has been dressed up to attract attention with sensational and false accusations."

“I worry that it will be impossible to trace, follow or recover any cash withdrawn,” an affidavit from Satnam Rai, the director of a numbered company with part ownership of the hotel, reads.

Quarantine hotels were embroiled in controversy during their operation as stories of high costs, poor tracking measures and civil liberties concerns emerged from the tarped-up hallways inside the facilities.
