Thank you very much.
Mr. Moore, let's turn to the call centre, which you have talked about in glowing terms.
The call centre received three contracts for a total of $27 million. You said it received about 450,000 calls, as I remember.
That seems strange because the newspapers reported at the time that MPs were receiving tons of phone calls at their offices. In addition, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business stated that it received tens of thousands of calls related to the CEBA because business people had no one else to turn to.
How can it be that, on the one hand, you said you received a high volume of calls while, on the other, business people could not get through?
People had to call, dozens of times, a number that was not working or they simply could not get through.
There are two possibilities: either the tens of thousands of businesses that contacted us are not telling the truth, even though they always say the same thing, or your version does not represent what really happened.
Did anyone check the number and the quality of the calls reported to you?
