Indeed, but it's very clear that given the way in which the amendment is worded, it changes the whole spirit of the clause. CRA would have an advantage over law enforcement agencies, which would be somewhat inequitable. The aim of the amendment, namely to facilitate the exchange of information between the parties, is indeed sound. However,under the circumstances, CRA would have an advantage and that would, in my view, go against the very essence of the legislation.
