I have a few questions but first, since we don't have much time, I would like to briefly discuss the motion that Mr. Dusseault moved at our last meeting regarding the Canada Revenue Agency. I don't think it poses a problem. It reads:
That the committee compel the Canada Revenue Agency to provide all written correspondence, including but not limited to letters and emails, between the Canada Revenue Agency and the KPMG s.r.l. accounting firm, issued between January 1, 1999, and May 5, 2016, regarding the Isle of Man tax plan and any matters related to that plan, and that the documents be provided to the committee no later than Wednesday, May 18, 2016.
The government party proposed two amendments. The first involved changing the word “compel” to “request”, knowing that the agency is entirely open and willing to provide this information. We don't see any problem with that. The second amendment was to add information that is not subject to section 241. That isn't a problem, either.
If we can include these two amendments, and if they satisfy all members of the committee, we could vote on this immediately and continue to ask the witnesses questions.
