Public Accounts committee  I think for the most part those issues have been resolved, but they're ongoing, as new little exceptions will come up. A good system has been put in place in issues of individuals being blocked from being able to access the CERB, for example, because they have an open EI claim, a

Public Accounts committee  I as well don't have an exact number, but I do know that it was over a million a little while ago. More than a million repayments have been made.
