We didn't need an audit to tell us that!? But thank you anyhow? How much this cost? Do I get my refund now?

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.

How many benefited and would have faced insurmountable financial and life altering hardship without the benefits?

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.

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?
