Mr. Chair, at the CRA, we have made the real estate sector a priority in terms of the underground economy.
When we got access to this new tool, we used the information to identify non-residents, and particularly those who, for example, were trying to avoid capital gains tax on the sale of their house. As non-residents, they are not entitled to do that. Citizens who own two or three houses were also trying to benefit too generously from the capital gains exemption.
So this is an administrative measure that we use in a sector where there has already been rule-breaking.
