OTTAWA – Opposition parties say they are troubled that the Canada Revenue Agency paid nearly $500,000 in COVID-19 rent subsidies to a numbered company who claimed to have leased four properties that landlords say it never actually rented.
“For months, Conservatives called on the Trudeau government to ensure necessary aid programs had safeguards to prevent this exact type of fraud. Canadian taxpayers deserve to know how much Liberal incompetence has cost them through fraudulent COVID-19 benefit claims,” Conservative MP Jake Stewart said in a statement.
He added that National Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier and the CRA “need to get to the bottom of the extent of this fraud, and give Canadians the answers they deserve.”
