Personal experience, once received a notification from CRA to the effect: "6 months ago we refunded you incorrectly, you owe us, oh by the way we're also charging you a penalty for our mistake.". The amount was not inconsequential but not a problem to remedy. The insult was "we made a mistake and we are punishing you for it".
