Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I want to say good morning to all of my colleagues.
Also, thanks to all of you for all your hard work. There are definitely a lot of technical details. I really appreciate you being here this morning to answer our questions.
I have two big parts to me. One is a business side: I've been in business for 20 years. Then there's also the side of me that is a very big constituency person. One of the things worrying me this time is that there are many people in my riding who are caught in a cycle of poverty, and I worry about them a lot.
The first question I want to ask you is about the automatic tax filing.
My understanding is that right now we already provide that service to a number of Canadians, and I wouldn't mind if you could tell me how many Canadians actually already benefit from automatic tax filing. The second part is that budget 2023 is now going to increase that to allow 2.5 million Canadians, I believe, to get access to automatic tax filing by 2025.
If someone can answer those two questions, that would be great.
