Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the representatives of the Department of Finance and the Canada Revenue Agency for their comments. I am flabbergasted by what I have just heard.
A majority of parliamentarians in the House of Commons adopted a resolution to move forward, through this committee, with the bill for a single tax return. I would have expected the Canada Revenue Agency to provide us with information on how to make that possible, not that it would do exactly the opposite and tell us all the harm the bill would do, when its purpose is to make life easier for Quebecers.
I partly agree with the section on international agreements. I see a small issue in that regard. We'll have an opportunity to talk to Mr. Ste-Marie a little later about the inclusion of the international agreements part, which may have a negative impact on the passage of the bill.
Ms. Laroche, you raised four points, and I'm really disappointed in what you presented to us. I would have liked you to show us a way to make it possible for Quebecers to file a single tax return, thereby making their lives easier.
Are you telling us that it's totally impossible at this time, based on the four points you raised, to adopt a single tax return for Quebecers that would be administered by the province of Quebec?
