Thank you for your question. It's a bit difficult to answer it. We would need to know exactly what issue we're trying to address. If the goal was to provide financial support to Canadians, the Canada emergency response benefit program hit the mark.
In terms of the controls, we saw some prepayment controls. For example, the individual's social insurance number and age were verified and it was confirmed that the individual hadn't died. We now know that the next step is to prevent any possibility of double payments.
I think that we can already learn some good lessons from this program. If the program were to be launched again, I would encourage the departments to do a better job of sharing information. People often don't have enough information to know whether they can access another support program. Perhaps this should be done before, during the process, rather than later.
