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?

How many prisoners have received a Canada emergency response benefit cheque?
This allows me to go even further and thank the hon. member again. Some 7.7million Canadians have received emergency assistance in an emergency situation
