I'll share that the government's position is to oppose this for exactly the same reasons that I indicated for the previous amendment. The information being asked for here, which would be required if this passes, is not currently being collected for statistical analysis through the CRA. It's also slightly duplicative because some of the information being requested would be in future publications of the report on federal tax expenditures, which is customarily tabled in the House of Commons with the main estimates.
This will be a running theme, by the way, because many of the amendments the Conservatives have proposed seem to want to increase red tape, government operations and reporting requirements, which is the opposite of what they often say. I will say there are quite a number of them that don't seem to merit the added cost. If we were to do a cost-benefit analysis, we don't feel that some of these would garner the benefit that would be required to justify adding additional resources.
Thanks.
