Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to offer you my congratulations, Ms. Hogan, as the new Auditor General. Your role is essential to our democracy, and I am certain I speak for all when I say you will have our full support and collaboration, and we are eager to work with you.
We know that generally Canadians are unlikely to submit fraudulent claims for government subsidies and support programs. That being said, we must also be prepared for the reality that some people will try to take advantage of federal COVID-19 support programs through fraud. Will the Office of the Auditor General play a role in evaluating fraudulent CERB claims? How can the office evaluate the federal government's COVID-19 response plan and similar programs in the future? What can you put in place to make sure these programs are audited as they should be and I'm sure they will be.
