I agree. I always encourage the public accounts committee to bring in the department so they can hear about their responses and actions.
I am concerned about the reluctance to want to collect funds, and it's very similar to a response to our first work on the CERB and CEWS, when there was a reluctance to identify ineligible recipients of money. I would expect that when public funds go to a business or an individual that is ineligible, the government will take action to recover those funds. If it doesn't want to, it should just be transparent with everyone about that.
Right now, there's just a reluctance to even identify whether businesses were truly ineligible.
