The answer is no, Madam Chair. The numbers went up. They were already higher than we would have liked. The reason is that we extended the deadline for filing returns because of the pandemic.
Coming back to your first question, I want to point out that we also used payroll deduction information to validate applications. Since the wage subsidy was tied to payroll, source deduction information really helped us eliminate the risk prepayment.
Given that we had extended the deadline for filing GST/HST returns because of the pandemic, we had to be consistent and proceed on the basis that we would not have them.
