Global News published this video item, entitled “Canada’s auditor general report on COVID vaccine access, pandemic benefits | LIVE” – below is their description.
Canadian Auditor General Karen Hogan is expected to release two highly anticipated reports on how the federal government handled the COVID-19 crisis in 2021, including access to vaccines, procurement and pandemic benefits.
Her first report will detail how well the government did at getting a hold of COVID-19 vaccine doses and tracking how many received them. Ottawa made headlines over concerns the rollout of provincial vaccine campaigns may be jeopardized by delayed shipments of the sought-after vaccines.
Hogan will also examine in her second report the distribution of benefit payments to people who lost income because of public health restrictions. The report is expected to show whether the Canada Revenue Agency and Employment and Social Development Canada made sure payments were accurate and paid to eligible applicants, as well as whether efforts were made to recuperate overpayments.
The efficiency and effectiveness of the COVID-19 benefit program will also be examined.
The reports are expected to be tabled in the House of Commons at 10 a.m., with Hogan to hold a press conference to go over the reports at 11 a.m. ET.
