All right, I'm going to stop you there, Mr. Brière. I understand what you're saying: it's very complicated.
As things stand, it's no trouble for employers to send people T4s and RL-1 slips, so I can't see why it wouldn't be possible for them to send a single document, instead, with the information from both forms. Why couldn't taxpayers fill out the appropriate boxes, depending on whether the information applied to the federal or provincial system? The federal and provincial governments would refer only to the boxes and information that pertain to their respective systems. Individual taxpayers would just have to send their information to both revenue agencies.
The idea is not to save taxes or put people out of work. The idea is to make life easier for Quebeckers. What we are trying to figure out is how to do that. I'm especially surprised to hear someone from the CRA say that it's practically impossible to make life easier for Quebeckers by allowing them to fill out a single income tax return. I have a hard time wrapping my head around that.
Mr. Brière, it looks like you want to comment, so please go ahead.
