Canadian Auditor General Karen Hogan released two highly anticipated reports on Tuesday on how the federal government handled the COVID-19 crisis in 2021, including access to vaccines, procurement and pandemic benefits.

In her first report, Hogan said that tens of millions of COVID-19 vaccine doses were likely to expire by the end of the year and go to waste due to a failure by the federal government to manage an oversupply of vaccines. She said this also could amount to a cost of $1 billion in waste.

Her second report found that while COVID-19 benefits rolled out by the federal government to those who lost work due to the pandemic helped the economy rebound, not enough has been done to recover overpayments. In a report released, she said an estimated $4.6 billion had been paid to people not eligible, with another $27.4 billion that should be investigated. She added that the Canada Revenue Agency has only collected $2.3 billion in voluntary repayments.
