Thank you, Minister.
This is my last question, and maybe your officials can weigh in on this as well. I sometimes wonder about the training we give our officers at the CRA. It just seems that they are so rigid in their interpretation of the rules and that there is no flexibility or a common-sense alternative. If you owe $10,000 and you're a single mother with two children and you live paycheque to paycheque and you've paid $5,000 or $6,000 and there's $4,000 left, why not call it even at $2,000 and close this file and go on?
There are a lot of frustrations at a local constituency level in some of these cases. Canadians hear these stories of tax evasion. Congratulations to you, Minister, that we're doing a great job to make sure the wealthiest Canadians in our corporations are paying their fair share. On the other side of that pendulum, however, we have a problem. For me, this problem is very important because we want to be able to solve people's minor CRA issues and close these files so they can keep on working hard to put food on the table and send their children to post-secondary education.
