Thank you, Mr. Chair.
No, we really did not observe any instances of non-compliance with the legislation.
Regarding your question about refunds, if applications are deemed ineligible, refunds will be provided. Earlier, the Auditor General stated that from February to December of 2008, some 300 applications were deemed to be eligible. The overall number of eligible applications was reduced to 38 retroactively. So then, many people submit applications, but will be declared ineligible subsequently. Approximately 60,000 applications were submitted during this nine-month period, and the department estimated that it had to award 45,000 refunds.
