Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the minister, as well as her officials, for making a presentation today. We certainly appreciate the work you do for Canada.
On the topic of morale, as well as the professionalism of the CRA.... Obviously, there are offices both in Kelowna and in my former riding of Okanagan–Coquihalla, in Penticton, and having toured them and met some of the people who are involved, I know they are certainly working very hard.
That being said, I'd like to discuss the CRA a little. Obviously, it's somewhat at arm's length from government, for good reasons. Because of that, there is an opportunity for us to talk about things that have been a reason for concern.
An example is the issue of campgrounds, particularly whether a campground is now no longer eligible for the preferential small business rate. I believe it has to do with the active versus passive nature of their business. Many of these businesses are seasonal. In British Columbia—I'm not sure if you are aware, Minister—real estate prices have increased dramatically over the past 20 years. Tourism is very important to the Okanagan, and many of these smaller campgrounds may decide that, if they cannot run as a small business and access that—instead of being classified as large operations, million-dollar corporations—they may simply sell. This is a concern in my area.
