Very well.
You therefore looked at it from the point of view of efficiency, then the point of view of equity. I'd like to quote paragraph 12.60 of the report:
[...] recipients in Canada’s western region (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories, and Yukon) received advance payments, starting in July 2020. However, in the three other regions of Quebec, central Canada (Ontario, Manitoba, and Nunavut), and Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador), recipients were required to submit claims for reimbursement.
This created gaps that were significant, specifically because in some regions, such as Quebec, which I have the pleasure of representing, funds had to be advanced, while others received advance payments. That means there is an imbalance of resources.
Have you made any other recommendations on this issue, Mr. Hayes?
