Yes, it is a real risk, because if taxpayers are aware—and they should be aware—of frauds that occur and if taxpayers know that thousands and millions of dollars have left the country and have been sent to people who don't own the amount, taxpayers will say, "Well, why should I pay my own taxes? I work hard. I want to pay my fair share. Why should I do that?”
As I said previously, the CRA is a trustee for the amount that is given by taxpayers. A trustee has to work as a trustee because people have to trust the system. That's why it's called a trustee. A trustee has to work according to the laws. If CRA sends refunds to people who are not allowed to get the refund, then CRA doesn't work according to the laws that govern the CRA.
