I have a brief question about the pandemic unemployment payment, PUP, as well as on the various media reports we have seen over recent months that there may have been a capacity for high levels of fraudulent claims or inaccurate claims. Could Mr. McKeon briefly outline the measures his Department employed to provide reassurance in those areas and to recoup any money that was incorrectly paid?
