Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
First, I would like to thank our guests. Today, they have provided us with a lot of very enlightening information about the situation we're in right now.
We have a bill that will harmonize the Quebec and federal tax collection and administration systems, making the Government of Quebec responsible for them.
I'd like to remind you that the Conservative Party has already made the people the focus of the single tax return initiative. The Conservative Party wanted and still wants Quebeckers to file only one tax return. However, where our proposal differs from the bill is that we believe it's possible to make Quebeckers' lives easier without changing the whole system.
I'd like to hear what the three organizations represented here have to say about that.
Do you think we could make Quebeckers' lives easier by requiring them to fill out only one form, which would be sent to Revenu Québec and the Canada Revenue Agency? The two agencies could then continue to process the information, but it would be on a single form to make it easier for Quebec taxpayers. Canada Revenue Agency officials told us that this is possible.
Is it realistic and feasible, in your opinion? Might it be easier than trying to harmonize the two tax systems by transferring power from one revenue agency to the other?
We could start with Ms. Daviau.
