Hey Joe, the markets are soaring--I hope you bought in when they were low

It's not third party, Mel admitted he is committing fraud.

My client stated no such thing.  My client is entitled to CERB to the best of his knowledge, and he must be considered innocent until proven guilty in the court of law!

He's admitted it goes to beer, he has other sources of income and savings.

Canadians have made 190,000 repayments on CERB claims, says CRA



Canada Revenue Agency is also reviewing 600 tips on alleged misuse of emergency aid program



Canadians have made almost 190,000 repayments of Canada emergency response benefits they weren't entitled to receive, according to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).



CRA spokesperson Christopher Doody said the CRA acted quickly to deliver emergency aid programs to Canadians in need and designed the application for the Canada emergency response benefit (CERB) as an attestation-based system, similar to the tax-filing process.



"The CRA continues to aggressively pursue tax evasion and fraud with all the tools available to them," he said.



An offence could net a fine of up to $5,000, plus a penalty equal to double the amount of the income support claimed, or a fine plus a period of imprisonment of up to six months, according to the draft bill.

My client has admitted no such thing.  My client has no other sources of earned income right now, as that would be contrary to the CERB entitlement.  That my client has savings is inconsequential to the matter at hand.
