Again, when I read that report, as I mentioned earlier today, the Canada Revenue Agency highlighted that it looked at 53% of the businesses we identified as being potentially ineligible for the wage subsidy through either pre or post-payment work. When you break that down, there is 4% that was done through post-payment work. The rest was prepayment work.
As you know, there were limited controls in prepayment work. There was very little information gathered on monthly revenues. The main eligibility criteria was a decline in monthly revenue in order to be eligible for the wage subsidy.
In my opinion, the only way you can determine if a business is eligible is to do post-payment work. Hence, that is why I stand by my recommendation that much more rigour and more work are needed when it comes to examining the eligibility of businesses with regard to the wage subsidy. Then, a decision can be made whether or not collection should occur.
