Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for their participation this afternoon.
My first question is for you, Ms. Daviau.
Last week, CRA officials told us that having the provincial government administer income tax would cost approximately $800 million. That would cover fixed costs associated with setting up new IT systems, and making the necessary changes to workflow, human resources and staffing.
Ms. Daviau, could you comment on CRA's cost estimate and share your thoughts on the possible cost of such a transfer?
