Thank you very much.
In June of this year, the finance committee in the last Parliament recommended that the government undertake measures to prevent publicly traded companies and their subsidiaries from paying dividends or repurchasing their own shares while receiving the Canada emergency wage subsidy. It also recommended that the government recover wage subsidy amounts from publicly traded companies and their subsidiaries that pay dividends or repurchase their own shares. I'm just wondering if there was discussion about this recommendation around the table when the bill was being drafted.
I don't see any measures in the bill that would implement this recommendation for the programs on a go-forward basis or retroactively. Am I right that those are missing? If so, what was the discussion around not taking the committee's advice on this matter?
