Thank you.
I'm looking at the analysis of the range. We're in the midst of a third wave. It's growing in parts of the country, as we know. The CRB is not something that should be slashed without having given it a great deal of thought. The analysis done by the finance ministry would be very helpful.
My second question, then, is on the wage subsidy. I wrote to the minister on January 5, and we're still awaiting a reply. When will the actual figures for the wage subsidy provided to companies be released? When will the public actually know? It's the public's right to know, of course.
What is the finance ministry and the CRA doing in the case we've already seen through the The Globe and Mail, the National Post and a number of other intrepid reporters for CBC, CTV and Global? They've already identified companies that have laid off their employees while getting the wage subsidy and providing dividends. They are doing stock buybacks and providing massive executive bonuses.
What procedure is the finance ministry or the CRA taking on that, when there is clear evidence of a misuse of the wage subsidy funds? What steps will the finance ministry be taking?
When are you releasing the figures and what steps are you taking, when, clearly, abuse has been identified?
