Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As my colleague pointed out, it should be noted that the officials working on Bill C‑2 are working very hard and are available to answer our questions.
For example, some important questions were asked that aren't exactly related to Bill C‑2, but that are nonetheless quite relevant, such as Mr. Blaikie's question about how the provinces will deal with the bill. Some questions were also not related to the Department of Finance, as my colleague Mr. Stewart said earlier. I'm thinking of the cost of running these programs, for example. Mr. Poilievre also asked about the future audits.
As a new committee member, I learned about the procedures that could help my colleagues obtain specific answers to their questions. I learned that questions beyond the scope of the discussion can be submitted in writing in advance. This makes it easier for officials to do their job. That's what I did last night. I sent in a question. I would encourage you to follow that procedure, Mr. Blaikie.
Ms. Demers, I want to ask you about workers who may have to repay benefits if, for whatever reason, they were deemed ineligible. I'd like to know the repayment strategy. This matter concerns part 2 of the bill.
Is there a strategy to ensure, as we've seen in the past, that taxpayers don't need to pay back the benefits received?
