I think about the issue of recovery and the importance of recovering funds that were given or granted to an organization or a company that was not eligible. Those should be recovered.
This is the same policy that the government has right now for COVID recipients. If you were an ineligible COVID recipient, they want to claw it back right now, and many of these people are just $5, $10 or maybe even $100 over the limit. They're barely ineligible, and they're very poor. They're working-class people, and they're finding it very difficult to pay back this amount of money.
Why is it different for the companies? When I asked that question about how we treat individuals and how we treat people when they're just over the ineligibility line for COVID, the government said they're going to recover all of it. When it comes to these huge companies that are getting all this funding, it seems as though there isn't a clear answer or any kind of confidence you're giving me or Canadians that any amount will be recovered for these ineligible projects.
