Thank you.
Thank you to the witnesses for coming back today.
My first question is for the Auditor General.
The findings that we saw in the audit included one major obstacle, the prepayment validations. The agency couldn't always have the most up-to-date information on file to assess an applicant's revenues. The information would have allowed the agency to validate the reasonableness and magnitude of the applicant's declared revenue drop.
I'm wondering what kind of information should have been available for the application review, in your opinion, and what additional time would have been required for the prepayment verifications to be done.
I know this issue about the balance between speed and accuracy was also discussed in report 6.
