No. This is an outstanding issue that has been discussed with the Canada Revenue Agency for a very long time, even before I took office.
I did not consult the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, because the legislation is quite clear to me: my office must have access to information in a timely manner and free of charge.
Having said that, having worked at the agency, I understand their concerns very well. Section 241 of the Income Tax Act is quite clear: the agency must not disclose personal taxpayer information. However, that is not what we asked for.
On the one hand, the agency has this desire, which I would say is pathological, to protect taxpayer information, which is a good thing for taxpayers. On the other hand, it must provide timely and useful information to an officer of Parliament whose mandate is to provide information and analysis to members of Parliament and senators. It's a matter of finding a compromise.
