Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Daviau, just now, we were discussing the Phoenix pay system and the compensation being taxed. Ms. Girard told us that the decision on that taxation was up to the Canada Revenue Agency. For a number of weeks, I have been receiving letters asking for Mr. Duclos, the President of the Treasury Board, to come to an agreement with the agency. Each claims that the ball is in the other's court, you might say.
Can you explain the problem about taxing the compensation to us? I know it does not seem to have a direct connection with COVID-19, but public servants are devoted, committed people who have adapted quickly. Taxing that compensation seems to be sending them a message that they are going to be penalized, no matter what.
I would like to know your opinion about the situation between the Canada Revenue Agency and the Treasury Board Secretariat.
