That's okay. We have more time later.
Minister, it's extraordinarily disappointing to hear in your fourth year as minister that you have no better answer to this report than to blame the past. It's not about how many people are employed at the agency, Minister. It's about treating taxpayers fairly and applying the law fairly to all Canadians.
In the report the Auditor General also describes how when the agency makes mistakes and the agency itself fails to supply information on a timely basis or gives out incorrect information, that there is no consistency in how the agency deals with penalties. Penalizing a taxpayer when the agency has made a mistake is extraordinarily unfair to a Canadian taxpayer and the inconsistency around relief from penalties when the agency is at fault I'm sure many Canadians would be very upset to hear when reading this report. It would be familiar to many Canadians who have had this experience.
Can you tell the committee now what you are doing today to ensure that when the agency makes a mistake it's not penalizing taxpayers?
