Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government may have overpaid as much as C$32 billion in Covid-19 benefits during the pandemic largely due to a lack of post-payment verification, the federal auditor general said.
“I am concerned about the lack of rigor on post-payment verifications and collection activities,” Hogan said in a news release. Canada’s tax agency and its employment department “need to act now” to recover the money, she said. She found the benefit programs achieved their basic objective and “quickly offered financial relief to individuals and employers, prevented a rise in poverty, mitigated income inequalities, and helped the economy to recover from the effects of the pandemic.”
