Thank you, Madam Minister and Mr. Gallivan for being with us today.
I will try to proceed in a more orderly manner. Minister, having spent this time with you, I see in you the Iron Lady of tax fairness. I know your sense of justice will guide your actions throughout your tenure.
That said, we are considering a very important issue. At the heart of this issue is tax fairness for Canadian taxpayers. The government has taken some unprecedented measures to invest in your capacity to investigate and collect taxes from companies and individuals.
We also have a client service issue to address. We all know that the CRA doesn't have the best reputation for client service. I imagine the people in your riding feel the same way. They do in mine. Could you describe for us how the amounts invested will be used to improve client service, collections, and tax fairness?
