It has issued 600,000 temporary cards, yet there are only 200,000 legitimate users in Canada.</p>\n<p>We have already heard the minister say they are going to fix this, but why has this not already been fixed? We have spent millions of dollars paying these fraudulent claims which should have been stopped years ago. When is the government going to be accountable for that type of inaction?</p>",
