I would first like to thank you, and then go back to the question that was asked by my colleague, Ms. O'Connell, on the tax gap.
I do understand fully that you've probably been hesitant to come up with any figure in that regard. However, to go back to this point, one thing that struck me, Mr. Gallivan, when you were talking about the ROI, was that you didn't seem to be very keen or confident that the ROI is going to be satisfactory from a business stance. At the end of the day, this is a huge investment by taxpayers to the CRA, so if you're hesitant on the ROI, that means you're not releasing any figures on the tax gap.
I can see it from a taxpayer's perspective. At least come up with some figures—you must have some idea about the tax gap—and then when you finish the investigation and the study on it, you can come back to Canadians with some of that. I'm hoping that with you I can get a better answer than I would be getting from the minister.
So far, we haven't been able to get anything from the minister, although I've addressed her in writing. After 45 days, I have nothing back. It's the same answer that she gave today. Could you please elaborate on this at some point?
