The small business loan program the federal government rolled out during the COVID-19 pandemic wasn't managed with "due regard for value for money," auditor general Karen Hogan said Monday.
In an emailed statement, Export Development Canada said it only partially agreed because in "practical terms, implementing would be challenging and may also come at significant cost." Todd Winterhalt, its head of communications and public affairs, said in the statement it would explore potential options to recoup the money.
He said the organization is "very proud of what we were able to accomplish on behalf of the Government of Canada for Canadian small businesses. This was a net-new program with no precedent or instruction manual to follow." Hogan noted in the press conference that the program is ongoing. "Payments … will be ongoing for several years while action on defaulted loans is just beginning," she said.
