The Newfoundland and Labrador government has asked Deloitte to review its work after a major report was found to contain false citations.
Moreover, the province said the mistakes were discovered in a 526-page staffing plan prepared for the health sector.
A Health Department spokesperson said Deloitte acknowledged the errors in the citations.
However, the firm also said it still stands by the overall staffing plan.
Brian Scott, speaking for the department, noted that the province will take appropriate steps after Deloitte completes its promised review.
Additionally, he said the government expects the contractor to account for how the flawed citations appeared in the document.
A story published Saturday by The Independent highlighted several citations that appeared not to exist.
Furthermore, the outlet quoted a Dalhousie University researcher who said the report cited an article attributed to her that did not exist.
In a related development, Deloitte Australia said last month that it would partially refund the Australian government for a report containing apparent AI-generated errors.
The Australian report also referenced academic papers that were not real.
