I'm not sure if this is directed to me, Madam Chair. I'll ask my colleague, Philippe Le Goff. I don't believe we have had a review of that specifically.
We did mention at the beginning of the report, in the introduction and in the context, that the payments were indexed, so there is a clause there that is supporting that. We did not specifically—

I believe so, but I'll turn to my colleague, Philippe Le Goff. He would be in a better position to provide some details, if he has any.

Madam Chair, we did not look specifically at any question related to the viability of the program for the long term or to inflation. I will defer the question to the CRA.

Could someone get back to me on whether there's an answer on what that would look like?
I have limited time here, so I'm going to go on to the next concern that I have, which is on the retro pay. I would just like confirmation on how far back you could go on the retro pay to either top up the individual or, hopefully, if there was an overpayment, receive dollars back to the treasury.

Perhaps, Madam Chair, I'll ask one of my colleagues to take on the question of how far back we can go.

Generally speaking, the rule is that you can go back 10 years with respect to making a retroactive payment.

On the people we've overpaid who have left the country, is it fair to assume that our success rate of receiving any dollars back is very limited?

I don't have any statistics on that. Perhaps my colleague Mr. Lemieux would have that available at his fingertips. I doubt it, but we could ask him.

Unfortunately, I don't have that at my fingertips. We could look into the data and see if we have any statistics on that.

Another area of my concern for families is that, unfortunately, with the divorce rates and the breakdown of families, couples are terrible to each other during that time period. If one member fails to file their income tax, am I correct from reading the report that the actual payment doesn't get processed?

Madam Chair, I could take part of that question.
It is as you referred to in the report. We indicate that either one or both would need to file their tax return in order for these payments to be made.

On that example, I guess it could go on for 10 years with the retro part. Hopefully they file before then and whoever has the custody of the child would get those dollars back, if I'm understanding the program correctly.

That is my understanding as well, Madam Chair. The agent would need to do some further analysis in terms of the chronology of events when the parents were sharing that custody, or if it was one parent who had the sole responsibility of the child.
That question would maybe be better directed to the agency in terms of those specifics.

I was just going to respond, Madam Chair, to that question, but I think I would turn to my colleagues for the very specific rules in that case.
As a general comment, in administering this program we have to recognize some of the complexities in the relationships and in the changes that happen. As you say, somebody could leave the country. Although we don't have statistics on how much we can get back there, I think it's fair to say that it doesn't increase our chances of recouping that money.
Similarly, in the situation of a breakup, it can often be the case that the two parties don't agree. That could be more complex for us to work our way through, but we do try to work our way through it.
