I'll talk about the administrative side first.
We did a manual audit of all applications from businesses that had a history of fraud or criminality and did a thorough review.
With respect to eligibility criteria, the nature of some businesses, their history or the fact that they had changed ownership prevented us from providing the subsidy. Our mandate is not to question the history of businesses, but we did verify that the businesses had employees, and therefore were businesses. When that was the case, we would release the subsidy to them.
By law and eligibility criteria, we are not able to use subjective values to review applicants' backgrounds and deny applications. However, we did conduct extensive audits on these businesses to ensure that they were indeed eligible for the subsidy.
