Mr. Chair, we do assess our performance relative to other countries. It is extremely hard to do it on a numbers basis because every tax administration is different. For instance, we collect provincial taxes that most national tax administrations don't. We also collect outstanding benefit payments and so on.
I can tell you, though, that I just recently saw a report from the OECD that is looking at the debt collection practices of a number of different countries, and Canada was cited an extraordinarily large number of times for the work we're doing on modernizing our good collection practices.
I should also point out that just about every developed country is experiencing some of the same pressure we are with growth in revenue collections partly because the economy has been growing.
