Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, I want to thank you and your officials for coming today. We really appreciate it.
Minister, one of the things we can all agree on at the table, irrespective of party, is that we're all here to help solve problems for our constituents. It's sometimes really difficult to solve a constituent's tax problem with the CRA, for various reasons. We have to fax the consent form in. They don't give us very much information over the phone. Sometimes constituents' accounts are being garnished and it really becomes an issue of how to have enough money to put food on the table, as I saw in a recent case in my constituency.
Our government has made significant investments in the CRA. Can you let me know how the investments made in our appeals process will help at the local level?
