I apologize if my response seemed that way. I'm very pleased to see the interest of the committee in issues of tax administration, and in particular in what is a genuine issue of great concern: international tax evasion and avoidance.
I am extremely proud of the employees of the Canada Revenue Agency, including everyone here. They are hard-working and dedicated officials, and the occasional commentary from some sources that seem to defame or call into question their professionalism and integrity— However, it was in no way related to your questions, which were entirely appropriate.
