Before asking your question, you spoke about the conflict of interest facing members of our association in that they provide professional service to their clients, and benefit from a very complex tax system. Mr. Colby referred to this as well. However, as a professional association, we do have some responsibility with respect to the public interest. That is the very basis of a professional association.
In all the pre-budget presentations we have made in the last five years — and Mr. Colby referred to them — we recommended a comprehensive reform of the Canadian tax system. That is not the subject of your proceedings today, but we very much look forward to appearing before you again as part of the pre-budget consultations so that we can make this recommendation again this year. The system is very complex, and that is not in the public interest.
