People have spoken to us about this already. During the pandemic, we extended the tax season, as an exception, until the end of September. After that, however, it is important that the CRA get back to the usual dates. There is a big job to do at the CRA when it receives the returns. We also have to be able to adapt, since, as we know, for the guaranteed income supplement and the Canada child benefit, the adjustments are made on July 1. Because of these constraints, the same parameters have to be adhered to.
However, we are aware of the information you are giving us.
We are familiar with the labour shortage. I am also well aware that the big accounting firms are currently working with businesses, so individuals are going to have problems sooner or later. They are working with tax preparers.
There are internal discussions at the Canada Revenue Agency, but also discussions with partners to find solutions. I also share this concern.
