When it's at litigation with a taxpayer and a settlement is proposed, the CRA has an obligation to maximize value for the taxpayers. We will look at the strength of our case. We will look at the legal precedents. We'll look at the point of principle.
Sometimes we stand on principle and we risk coming away with nothing. In other cases, the offer that's on the table may present more value for the Canadian taxpayer. If we're going after $10 million and there's $8 million available, $8 million into the social service industry can be the best value for the Canadian taxpayer. If we're concerned about the legal precedents, we often get advice from the Department of Justice. We get advice from internal experts, and we'll make a decision.
We have roughly 200 cases before the courts, and we would be open to settling.
