Thank you.
I will share with members of this committee that I've had calls from some of Canada's largest business organizations, pleading with us, as a committee, not to go down the road of retroactively punishing companies for the program design failures of the government. This is a terrible precedent to set.
Could officials tell us whether there's any past precedent that has seen the government claw back benefits that were paid because of its own negligence or design failures or something similar? I'd be surprised if government has done this in the past, which is probably why we've received these panicked calls from business organizations.
