Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. Yes, we are very confident that we can. As I think the Auditor General pointed out, if there is a case of misrepresentation, that three-year time frame does not come into play. We're confident that we will be able to get the compliance work done that

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. Yes, it would be essentially the same process whereby we identified fraud and stopped some cases. Where we weren't able to do it, we referred it to the authorities if we couldn't handle it ourselves. I think it is miscast under the title of “Unrecov

Public Accounts committee  Certainly. Thank you for the question. That's a feature we have in our systems to be able to offset amounts that are owed to the government against refunds or other payments that would go out, so that's a way of collecting. We have that functionality in place now for almost all

Public Accounts committee  Maybe just to correct the record.... I don't think I would have ever said that everything is fabulous at the CRA and that we have infinite resources. I mean, we all deal with having the resources to do a job. What I do think is that we have adequate resources to do both of the

Public Accounts committee  Could you just repeat the last part?

Public Accounts committee  I would say yes. I don't have the results right at my fingertips, but every time we get additional money to battle tax evasion, it comes from the Department of Finance with a measure of how much money we are going to bring in by our audits and by our additional efforts. We've alw

Public Accounts committee  No, I don't— Go ahead, Marc. I'm sorry.

Public Accounts committee  Yes, I'll be very quick on this. There are two aspects to real-time reporting. One is ePayroll, which we talked about earlier, where we get electronic, real-time payroll information from businesses. The one that you're referring to there is what we call e-invoicing, where we get

Public Accounts committee  I think it's important to remember—and I did reference this earlier—that year the filing season was extended to June because of the pandemic, so it came in later than it normally would. I think that's a key point as well.

Public Accounts committee  Mr. Chair, I'm not sure if one of my colleagues has an answer to that, but if we don't, we can get back to you.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you for the question. If people think they need to repay, they should contact us and find the information. We will make arrangements to get repaid. For the individuals, certainly the government indicated early on that if you received it in error there would be no interest

Public Accounts committee  Yes. We have those numbers. I don't have them at my fingertips.

Public Accounts committee  Definitely. A lot of people have come to us voluntarily and repaid. They understood after that they weren't eligible for it. I almost think I have the number, but I don't want to give you the wrong number.

Public Accounts committee  That goes back to the issue that we've talked about several times here today: the speed of getting these programs in place and delivered. It was felt at the time that if we did force employers to give us the SIN numbers, that was really going to slow down the process, and we were

Public Accounts committee  Go ahead, Marc.
