Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question.
This is for private businesses, and I understand that my colleague may have a problem with that.
However, during the pandemic we have seen that the federal government itself had problems verifying people's identity. In my riding, some people received the CERB under a name other than their own. These people were on social assistance. They were not entitled to the CERB, received it anyway and will have to repay it when they file their income tax return. That is a serious problem.
I would like to know whether my hon. colleague thinks that we could have applied the provisions of this bill to the federal government itself.
