Madam Speaker, just yesterday in the public accounts committee, we heard that the government has referred three more cases, seven in total now, to the RCMP over theft issues and fraud issues with ArriveCAN. However, the government seems very hesitant to do so with a similar scandal.
In the contribution agreement signed between SDTC and Industry Canada, there is a very specific paragraph that states that for any money given out ineligibly, SDTC has an obligation to return the money to Industry Canada, therefore, taxpayers. However, SDTC has not, and Industry Canada has not, forced the issue.
I wonder if my colleague could perhaps expand on why she thinks the government is refusing to claw back ineligibly received taxpayers' dollars.
