I understand, but one would imagine that they are not going to pursue non-viable recovery options, so that is a bit of a moot point.
On the latter point of revised policy direction, though, you have the Department of Finance Canada agreeing with your assessment. Presumably, they would be speaking on behalf of the Government of Canada in that regard.
My take-away from all of this is that we should have officials from Finance and EDC and put the question to them—somewhat pointedly, perhaps—to find out what their plan is to recoup ineligible expenses.
