Thank you very much.
I think one of the aggravating factors in terms of people's frustration and anger over the benefit clawbacks is that they look at some of the companies that received assistance under the Canada wage subsidy, whether that be Bell or Chartwell or others—we could go into some of those examples, if you like—who increased significantly the dividends they paid to their shareholders. In some cases, there were share buybacks. The government hasn't so much as even asked for any of that money back, let alone pursued them in the way that some of the financially vulnerable have been pursued by the government.
Bill C-2 was an opportunity to incorporate some of the advice that this committee gave to government in the last Parliament around dividends and around share buybacks and ensuring that recipients of the wage subsidy wouldn't engage in those kinds of activities. Why did the government choose not to incorporate those restrictions around dividends and share buybacks in addition to executive compensation in the new legislation?
