There are several checks and balances in the system we're proposing in this legislation. One, the amount of benefits people can claim will depend on the premiums they've paid, which are based on their earnings of the previous year as they've submitted them to the Canada Revenue Agency, the CRA. If they understate their income in year one, they will have underpaid their premiums and they won't be able to collect as many benefits. Do you follow me?
