Auditor general finds a 'minimum' of $27.4 billion in suspicious COVID benefit payments


Auditor general says CRA's 'lack of rigour' in CERB and other pandemic benefits recovery efforts means majority of overpayments not likely to be recovered


Article content

OTTAWA – Canada’s auditor general says a “minimum” of $27.4 billion in suspicious COVID-19 benefit payments need to be investigated because the government did not manage the aid programs efficiently, and it will likely fail to recover “significant” amounts in overpayments.

Article content

That’s in addition to $4.6 billion in confirmed government overpayments solely in double-dipping applications for the various COVID-19 aid programs launched within the first months of the pandemic, according to a new report by Auditor General Karen Hogan published Tuesday.

The 92-page report highlights the government’s success in setting up six aid programs that doled out a total of $210 billion to individuals and companies quickly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing lockdowns.

But it’s extremely critical of the government’s management of the programs and ensuing efforts to find and claw back overpayments.

“The Canada Revenue Agency and Employment and Social Development Canada did not manage the selected COVID‑19 programs efficiently given the significant amount paid to ineligible recipients, the limited adjustments as programs were extended, and the slow progress on post‑payment verifications,” the report concludes.

Article content

But National Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier argued Tuesday that some of Hogan’s numbers are “exaggerated”, namely regarding Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) payments that should be investigated further.

“The agency does not agree with the auditor general’s calculation regarding ineligible recipients of the wage subsidy. The agency’s real verifications indicate that compliance with the subsidy was high, and that the auditor general’s figures were exaggerated,” she said in response to opposition questions Tuesday.

During a press conference, Hogan said she was “concerned” by CRA’s and ESDC’s “lack of rigour” in their efforts to identify and recoup overpayments from the half-dozen COVID-19 aid programs she audited. She called on the government to “act now” before it’s too late (the law limits eligibility verification to 36 months after payment).

Article content

“The number of post payment verifications included in the plan is insufficient to address all payments at risk of being ineligible,” she said.

Her report criticizes both organizations for “the significant amount paid to ineligible recipients, the limited adjustments as programs were extended, and the slow progress on post‑payment verifications.”

Hogan’s latest report is her first dive into the $210 billion in payments made via the government’s six COVID-19 financial aid programs, with the most generous being the $100 billion Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, the $74.8 billion Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and the $28.4 billion Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB).

Many of the programs, but particularly the $2,000-per-month CERB that was launched in April 2020, were designed to urgently get money into Canadians’ pockets by setting aside the usual pre-payment verifications.

Article content

Hogan said the programs “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”.

But that’s about where her praise ended.

Her report notes there are at least $27.4 billion in suspected ineligible payments that CRA and ESDC let through over the six programs that now need to investigate on top of the $4.6 billion in overpayments it has already identified and is trying to claw back.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, Hogan warns. The report chronicles a separate series of eyebrow-raising CERB payments, such as $1.6 billion to individuals who appear to have quit their jobs (instead of losing it due to COVID-19), $6.1 million to incarcerated recipients and $1.2 million in payments to dead people.

Article content

In the case of CEWS, the report estimates that there are $15.5 billion in suspected overpayments to ineligible companies, based on a comparison of their HST and GST filings before and during the pandemic. CRA has previously contested this method of calculation as overbroad and inaccurate.

Hogan also discovered CRA doesn’t have the data to measure the program’s overall objective: getting companies to retain or rehire employees during lockdowns.

In a joint statement, Ministers Diane Lebouthillier (CRA) and Carla Qualtrough (ESDC) celebrated Hogan’s findings about the positive impacts of the programs all the while stating that the government would pursue a “compassionate” and “responsible” approach to recouping overpayments and catching fraudsters.

Article content

The Conservatives denounced the lack of transparency or “proper plan” to fix the “lack of control” by the government over its pandemic program disbursements.

“Conservatives are calling on the Liberals to present the plan that shows that they’re going to take this report seriously and put in the controls that Attorney General is also calling for,” said CPC MP Adam Chambers.

In her recommendations, Hogan pushes CRA and ESDC to increase their post-payment verifications to capture all possible ineligible payments.

That drew an exceptional response from the government, who only “partially agreed” because it believes it would not be “cost effective” nor “best practices” to go after “100 % of all potentially ineligible claims.”

During her press conference, Hogan pushed back. “My advice to them is if they wanted to make a decision about recovery, one that might either forgive payments or be empathetic, then that’s something they should be clear and transparent to with Canadians. But current legislation would require them to follow up with those individuals in recovery.”

The BBC is trying in every way to prevent the public from seeing the film Died Suddenly... (too late we saw it)!

 

The BBC is trying in every way to prevent the public from seeing the film Died Suddenly... (too late we saw it)!


The BBC is trying to make people not watch the movie Died Suddenly , even going so far as to say that it will cause psychological problems to anyone who sees it... Rachael Schraer, who works for the BBC on so-called "disinformation reporting" (this which she does), has spent countless hours discrediting the film. 

On the one hand, Schraer's piece is a powerful attempt at deterrence, as she goes out of her way to urge her readers not to see the film. But it's the latter, since by now so many people have lost loved ones to the piercing, or been seriously damaged themselves, they don't need Died Suddenly to be enlightened.

To dissuade people from watching it, Schraer characterizes it as a vile and misleading piece of propaganda, based on weak (if any) research, filled with gross errors and offensive language, since all those the film claims to have dies or is injured by the "vaccine" are very "rare" cases (he keeps repeating). 

Above all, Schraer presents Died Suddenly as an expression of self-delusion: “[T]he film tells a fictional story of a dangerous vaccine that kills groups of young people – all part of an imaginary depopulation plot”

The truth is that there have been much more enlightening documentaries than Died Suddenly such as "Safe and Effective". which you can see here with Greek subtitles . 

However, those who haven't seen the movie Died Suddenly, watch it:

Το BBC προσπαθεί με κάθε τρόπο να αποτρέψει το κοινό να δει την ταινία Died Suddenly… (πολύ αργά την είδαμε)!


Το BBC προσπαθεί να κάνει τον κόσμο να μην δει την ταινία Died Suddenly, φτάνοντας ακόμα στο σημείο να πει, πως θα προκαλέσει ψυχολογικά προβλήματα σε όποιον την δει… Η Rachael Schraer, η οποία εργάζεται για το BBC στο λεγόμενο «ρεπορτάζ παραπληροφόρησης» (αυτό που κάνει η ίδια), έχει αφιερώσει άπειρες ώρες για να δυσφήμισει την ταινία.

Από τη μια πλευρά, το κομμάτι της Schraer είναι μια ισχυρή προσπάθεια αποτροπής, καθώς προσπαθεί με κάθε τρόπο να παροτρύνει τους αναγνώστες της να μην δουν την ταινία. Αυτό όμως είναι το τελευταίο, αφού, μέχρι τώρα, τόσοι πολλοί άνθρωποι έχουν χάσει αγαπημένα τους πρόσωπα από το τρύπημα, ή έχουν υποστεί σοβαρή ζημιά και οι ίδιοι, δεν χρειάζεται το Died Suddenly για να διαφωτιστούν.

Για να παρακινήσει τους ανθρώπους να μην το παρακολουθήσουν, η Schraer το χαρακτηρίζει ως ένα άθλιο και παραπλανητικό κομμάτι προπαγάνδας, που βασίζεται σε αδύναμη έρευνα (αν υπάρχει), γεμάτη με χονδροειδή λάθη και με προσβλητική γλώσσα, αφού όλοι αυτοί που ισχυρίζεται η ταινία ότι έχουν πεθάνει ή τραυματιστεί από τον «εμβόλιο» είναι περιπτώσεις πολύ «σπάνιες» (συνεχώς επαναλαμβάνει). 

Πάνω απ ‘όλα, η Schraer παρουσιάζει το Died Suddenly ως έκφραση αυταπάτης: «[Η] ταινία αφηγείται μια πλασματική ιστορία ενός επικίνδυνου εμβολίου που σκοτώνει ομάδες νέων – όλοι μέρος μιας φανταστικής πλοκής μείωσης του πλυθησμού»

Η αλήθεια είναι πως έχουν υπάρξει πολύ πιο διαφωτιστικά ντοκιμαντέρ απο το Died Suddenly όπως το “Ασφαλές και Αποτελεσματικό “. που μπορείτε να δείτε εδώ με Ελληνικούς υπότιτλους.

Ωστόσο όσοι δεν είδατε την ταινία Died Suddenly δείτε την:

Grocery prices are out of control



Dec. 6, 2022
After a record-setting year for inflation, there's no immediate reprieve in sight. A new report into Canada's food prices anticipates a five to seven per cent increase in food prices next year. For a family of four, grocery bills could rise by $1,000 to over $16,000. One of the report's researchers, University of Saskatchewan professor Stuart Smyth, joins The Andrew Lawton Show live to discuss why it's happening and what, if anything, can be done about it. Also, the Liberals are promising to review their firearms ban to ensure it doesn't capture hunting rifles, but the gun control activists are doubling down.

The bosses of the multinationals give the slogan...

The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, an American multinational investment company based in New York, says that "the world is losing hope...", preparing the ground for a global savior, to whom the multinationals are expected to hand over all the wealth as and the keys to global production. 

Among other things, he said in the video you will see:

"My biggest concern is that people are losing hope.

We have seen a collapse in birth rates and demographics!

In fact we are about to enter a period of greater malaise.

We have the European economy that has really changed radically!

We have China. On Russian gas and energy costs and fiscal support from governments, once we get out of this inflationary boom, I'm afraid we won't be able to have any fiscal stimulus in the short term.

Central banks are not going to be fully equipped to stimulate the economy again."

Here's exactly what was said as they prepare the planet for the looming artificial impasse that may very well be resolved:

The head of Pfizer admits that he did not think that mRNA vaccines were ready for distribution but that people at his company convinced him otherwise. He said he'd had concerns. Did he now? Why was he so gung ho for so long and so sure that they were safe if he had his own reservations?
