Ms. Hogan, I would like to quickly discuss post–payment compliance activities.

According to the Canada Revenue Agency, in December 2020, only 11% of the 141,000 people who contacted the agency about their CERB application were eligible for the benefit. This means that about 90% of those individuals were not eligible for the CERB.

Of course, this is a small sample, but is it a sign that the proportion may be the same for the rest of the claimants?
