Mr. Chair, I think you have to recognize that as the pandemic went on, there were adjustments made to the compliance program and to different controls brought in place to try to make sure that we learned from what was going on. We put more controls in place to limit the amount of money that went out.
The other thing is that the Auditor General mentioned the GST data earlier on as being something to look at. We tried that in the rent subsidy study we did and found it wasn't a very good indicator for that one. That had some similarities to the CEWS.
Yes, we were trying where we could to introduce new controls, or change methods on the fly as the pandemic evolved. Benefits got extended and new benefits came in.
I would say to your point, though, when I look around internationally—I'm the chair of a forum of tax administrators of all my colleagues around the world—I think you would find a lot of similar experiences with trying to get money out the door fairly quickly. Everybody is dealing with the same reality.
