Thank you for your answer.
CRA came before this committee and threw up its hands and said that it didn't have the tools to actually crack down overseas tax havens and the very profitable companies that use them. Again, it's a bit disconcerting that we're not thinking of the revenue side for resources.
My final questions are around evaluation of costs for programs that are needed and supported by the Canadian population. Has the ministry done an evaluation of what the cost would be of putting in place a universal, publicly administered pharmacare program?
The PBO has done its cost estimates. I'd like to know whether the finance ministry has done the same for full implementation of national child care over a number of years and what the cost implications would be for that.
