Okay, Minister, as long as you understand that with the dozens of complaints that I have received—and I've heard hundreds more from others—it would seem that there are probably thousands of Canadians who, in the COVID crisis, with the loss of income, read that original promotion for CERB where there's no mention of “net”. Many of them say that the first time they saw the word “net” was in the CRA letter, which they find very distressing. Some of them say they simply can't afford to repay $14,000. Some are talking about having to sell tools, equipment and even their homes.
