Canada Recovery Benefit.Canada Emergency Response Benefit , including the Employment Insurance Emergency Response Benefit and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy.The audits not only looked at whether the payments were made to eligible recipients, and how well the government later verified if those payments were legitimate, but also how effective the pandemic supports were in achieving their stated goals.
The audit also said that without the pandemic supports offered to individuals and businesses, the poverty rate would have almost doubled during the pandemic, from 6.4 per cent to 11.6 per cent. The audit said that because the financial support offered to low-income families boosted incomes beyond pre-pandemic levels, the benefits program created a disincentive to work that contributed to the labour shortage.
Despite achieving their stated goals, the auditor general's report says that the government's efforts to verify and recover improper payments has "not been timely" and that "significant unrecoverable amounts are likely to materialize." A health worker is seen preparing a COVID-19 vaccine dose at a clinic in the Vancouver Convention Centre in January. The Auditor General of Canada praised the federal government for buying and quickly distributing vaccines, but criticized it for wasting doses.
CBC Stop the drug use. Your brain needs a break. It is severely fried. Don't worry the fine folks at CBC CTV global are just as hailed out as you the turd and freeland
Happening now 👇🏼📺
The far left Marxist green cult globalist government did a fine job of social engineering over the pass 2.5 years with the help of there state run Soviet style media spewing there statist lies
Nothing to investigate most people have learned that they are not as safe and, effective as they said they would be. Sudden deaths ever since the roll out.
So long as they vote to re-elect the LPC, it is money well spent.
They must have overlooked the fact that JT originally tried to partner with Chinese covid vaccine makers, after that terrible decision fell apart, we were 6 months late in getting the 1st vaccines. We had to 'borrow' from batches destined for the 3rd world, brutal!
Pathetic
Heh where is the Post on the poor little Vaccinated girl who DiedSuddenly this weekend? Not suit your AgendaDrivenFakeNews TrudeauForTreason BonnieHenry Disgusting Lies
No doubt to companies that didn’t share them with workers who were deemed essential
The Federal & BC governments issued extra funds (temporarily) during Covid to non-employed people on disability, despite negligible changes to their financial situation, yet refuse to support these same people otherwise during a generational CoL emergency! bcpoli cdnpoli
Wait weren’t we one of the last western countries to get vaccines?
Remember the good old days? Damned if you do damned if you don't .
Then it doesn't sound like they succeeded at all.
I know a guy that was in jail and his mom collected benefits for him
Liberals give away millions to buy voters. No intelligent person would vote Liberal in the next election otherwise!
The did not succeed in any manner, as though it was some sort of a task to acquire mRNA with any more effort than a phone call in the same breath rolling out pandemic benefits that went to the wrong people at the get go. Report card F in every subject.
“Quickly” Are you serious? Just a reminder for media Presstitutes like CBC, Canada was one of the last countries in the G20 to secure vaccines after putting all of their hopes on a vaccine from China & have them pull the rug out from under us
Is it Pfizer updated to fight the new variants
We don't believe you guys anymore. Nice try though.
Note how the conservatives just whine that they had to repay cerb but refuse to apologize for illegally asking for it when they didn't qualify.
Waiting for the “let’s just sweep this under the rug” folks to show up.
I worked right through the pandemic working ot because of co workers going off sick. I worked approx 50-60 hrs a week and never even got a firm handshake while watching people spending their cerb money laughing at us working. They should b jailed the government officials FIRED
Very happy about the report being made. Priority One: Vaccines to Canadians. ✅ Priority Two: Relief dollars to Canadians throughout the pinch.✅ Priority Three: Claw back of the misdirected funds.✅ Point: Over stock of vaccine. Better safe than sorry✅
CBC, you should report on this story.
They committed Canada for 11 jabs for every citizen. Last I heard over 65% of Canadians will not get the next jab. So millions or billions $ more lost in coming years.
Fixed your headline for you: “The federal government wasted millions of doses and gave billions in benefits to ineligible recipients, the Auditor General of Canada says.”
if ndp-lib coalition step up their game and follow the europe - i will step up also
CBC filth doesn't care that our children are at serious risk. They are too busy being hateful and angry because they are life-long losers and look for paycheck...at any price.
Now do the billions laundered in Ukraine..
Watching Liberal sycophants defend the indefensible only affirms what most of us have know all along…its a cult. I mean, even a white nationalist received government funding
27.4 billion That number is insane.
It isn't a waste if people refused to accept them
Would it please the Auditor General and certain people if perhaps next time the government can do this in reverse order.
I know lots of people who had to pay back their CERB, and we did just that.
Typical liberal/ndp wasting our money
Waste of money. How much Liberals and Trudeau secured in their pockets? How much money the state affiliate media outlet got from this deal?
Liberals gonna Liberal
Simultaneously no one is surprised or had their mind changed whether this is acceptable.
The LPC frivolous throwing money around no way....
Trudeau is still buying useless covid shots no one wants.
Ooh, over 2 years they overplayed by $121. per Canadian. What would the conservative solution have been, send out DYI mask kits, new boot straps for everyone, free cardboard coffins, plugged their ears and covered their eyes until the crisis was over?
Quickly? About 6-12 months behind the U.S. and other countries.
This vaccine kill my mother, many people are sick, heart attack, avc. No benefit
When you own shares in the company flogging the vaccine, doesn’t matter if they go into arms. Long as they were paid for JustinTrudeau came out a winner. If this is overlooked, we will never see a legitimate honest government ever again.
Wait, who wasted the doses and who applied that were ineligible? The doses went to the provinces to distribute and individuals are responsible for their own fraudulent claims are they not? I'll need to look at this a little more in depth.
Hello to Trudeaus election. Spend to get back in
Great insight in hindsight for our next once in a century crisis 🤷♂️
Start savings with defunding the CBC.
Quite the spin, even for you propagandists.
How many benefited and would have faced insurmountable financial and life altering hardship without the benefits?
I under report $1 on my taxes and the cra hunts me down like a dog, the government wastes a couple billion and no big deal.
Better to err on the side of helping more people. Good to have a full accounting, but let's not act like this is a bad thing.
Liberals and trudeau don't care as long as it bought them votes and paid off friends.
And every Liberal apologist in the room yawns on unison. It's impossible for the party to do anything wrong. Lift the banner again and explain Liberals good, Conservatives bad. Such simplicity.
“Quickly securing” We were literally like 4-5 months behind the US with the vaccine procurement and roll out. JT is such a weak man and so disrespected that we had to sit back and wait several more months than the US did to procure them.
You mean those poorly tested gene therapy shots? statemedia
How's this not trigger an election? Lol
We didn't need an audit to tell us that!? But thank you anyhow? How much this cost? Do I get my refund now?
They didn't do anything QUICKLY... they dragged their feet from the very beginning. This is literally fake news. Lol
How could you say that they did a good job?! Oh yeah, because they PAID you to say they did a good job...
Federal mismanagement drives smart people to use the underground economy where possible. Don’t want to see their hard earned taxes wasted.
What fabrications!
Haste makes …..
So then they didn't do a good job lol
It’s just another few billion unaccounted for. Par for the course these days. We ever determine who actually got all that ArriveCAN money or nah?
Missing 75 billion is a good job…Canadians should lower expectations on Justin’s government.
Don’t forget to investigate the billions on the ArriveCan App
Had the governments not forced needless lockdowns restrictions & mandates... all of this would have been avoidable. If the media had been fair & balanced rather then engage in fear propaganda, this could have been avoided. All for a virus with a 99.9x% recovery rate smh
Those who agree it was wasteful feel free to return the monies received
So saving lives are 'wasteful'
I take issue with “did a good job”
If you mean mandates and the public getting fired for refusing the death jab then yes great job liberal government
fordnation still hasn’t explained where 4 plus billion went 😉
So, $30 billion miss is a good job
Seems simple… Hire collectors at CRA to get the money back. Government holds the biggest stick…so use it
It’s only our money
CBC= criminal and wasteful
