At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government rushed billions of dollars in benefits to help Canadians deal with the financial impact of it.
Struggling Toronto actor Alain D'Amours said he applied for funds to help him buy groceries, and pay his rent and bills during the pandemic.
"We found that overpayments of 4.6 billion dollars [were] made to ineligible individuals," said Hogan. “I think it's pretty crazy. I know other people around me that got $3,000 or $5,000 to reimburse but not $24,000. That's a big chunk," said D’Amours. “The Canada Revenue Agency recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult for many Canadians and remains committed to being compassionate, flexible, and supportive during this challenging time,” a spokesperson for Revenue Canada told CTV News Toronto.
