Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Lebouthillier, welcome to the Standing Committee on Finance. Thank you for your work to help the middle class.
I have a few questions today.
We just finished reading the CRA report, in which they outline several things for taxpayers here in Canada. We know that in the 10 years that the Conservatives were in power, a number of agencies faced cuts or reduced expenditures, or did not see their budgets increase, reducing the effectiveness of these agencies over a period of time. What I wanted to know was what our government is doing to make sure that agencies like the CRA are getting the resources they need to combat tax evasion or tax avoidance and to ensure that tax filers have confidence in the system that's in place.
Thank you, Minister.
