Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Human Resources Development would have us believe that it is good management on the part of the federal government to set recovery quotas, because there is always a certain amount of fraud associated with this sort of program.
How can the minister say such a thing, when his department has set recovery quotas of $600 million, even though his department and the auditor general do not expect fraud to exceed $200 million? Why are recovery quotas three times higher than anticipated fraud?
