CRA’s own records — filed in an inquiry of ministry tabled in the House of Commons — show 823,850 people who didn’t file a tax return in the past year received $2,000 monthly CERB cheques at a cost to taxpayers of nearly $1.7 billion, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
The CRA didn’t explain how non-tax filers could have claimed the benefit.
The CERB program was first budgeted at $24 billion, but by the time it expired Oct. 3, payments exceeded $81 billion.
