Thank you for that update about the voting simulation, Mr. Chair.
I'm always flabbergasted when I hear that having one tax return rather than two would cost hundreds of millions of dollars more. That's amazing.
Mr. Marsland, in your remarks, you said that the federal government agreed to collect and administer provincial taxes almost free of charge. But, as we know, under the tax collection agreements with the provinces, the federal Treasury Board receives all the money collected by the Canada Revenue Agency when it conducts its audits, regardless of whether the amounts are for federal income tax or provincial income tax.
How much money has the federal Treasury Board received in the last five years from collecting provincial income tax outside Quebec?
If you do not have that information at hand, you could send it to the committee later.
