How many emergency response benefit cheques have been sent to people whose applications have been flagged as fraudulent?
A total of 7.7million Canadians have received the Canada emergency response benefit, and the agency is ensuring the integrity of the system.
He's now claiming that it's all 7.7 million? That's crazy. The department is reported to have given out 200,000. Is 200,000 the correct number of cheques that have been sent out to people whose applications have been red-flagged as fraudulent, yes or no?
Mr.Chair, I'm pleased to use the opportunity given to me by the hon. member to make the following clarifications. I thank him for it. First, approximately 7.7million Canadians have received at least one payment. Second, almost 11million payments have been made.
